Both materials are evaluated on their resistance to pitting and localized corrosion, exposure to high temperature, their behaviour during thermal processes, such as welding, as well as their resistance to solvents. The aim of this article is to determine whether AISI-316L is a suitable material replacement for applications that would normally demand AISI-316Ti. **Please complete the form below to download your complimentary copy of this whitepaper to your device.** [ DOWNLOAD ](https://www.thielmann.com/en/knowledge-base/316ti-vs-316l#til-contact-form) ## DOWNLOAD YOUR PAPERS COMPLETE THIS FORM TO GET IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENT YOU REQUESTED ### RELATED ARTICLES As one of the world’s leading manufacturer of stainless steel containers, THIELMANN has accumulated significant expertise across a wide range of industries over many years.Our experts regularly compile educational material and analyses such as our Whitepapers and Case Studies, which are an excellent way to share in our knowledge and expertise and to find out more about our industry, product and application-specific insights and experience.We invite you to peruse our informative material and welcome any questions or enquiries you may have.
