Stabilized Austenitic Stainless Steel with Excellent Creep Resistance
Designed for Welded & High-Temperature Service
ASTM Standard, Custom Sizes Available
347 and 347H stainless steel bars are stabilized austenitic chromium-nickel alloys containing columbium (niobium) as a stabilizing element. This stabilization effectively prevents carbide precipitation during welding or high-temperature service, significantly reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion.
Compared with standard 304/304L stainless steel, 347/347H bars offer improved creep strength and stress rupture performance, making them ideal for long-term exposure to elevated temperatures.
