Stock program: Available on request
Specification: ASTM A 269/A 213/A 312 / EN10216-5 /EN ISO 1127 D4/T3/EN 10305 / PED 97/23 EC
Maximum exposure temperature: 850°C / 1560°F
Alloy 347 is an austenitic, niobium, stabilized stainless chromium-nickel steel. It has slightly increased corrosion resistance over 321 stainless steel in strongly oxidizing environments and is preferable for aqueous and low temperature environments due to its good resistance to inter granular attack. The 347H has high carbon contents (0.04 to 0.1%) for better high temperature creep properties.
Characteristics
- Excellent resistance to inter granular corrosion due to niobium stabilization
- Good resistance to organic aids and salt solutions
- Sensitive to pitting and crevice corrosion
- Less resistance to stress corrosion crashing by chloride solutions
Market applications:
- Oil refineries
- Fires heater tubes
- Power plants
- Heat exchanges
- High chemical process
- High temperature stream service
