Key Advantages of Stainless Steel 347 & 347H Pipes & Tubes

Columbium-stabilized Stainless Steel 347H boiler tubes prepared for high-temperature power plant installation.

High-Temperature Corrosion Protection

Added columbium (niobium) prevents structural weakening and rust formation during intense heat exposure between 425°C and 850°C.

Stronger Under Long-Term Heat

SS 347H contains extra carbon, allowing it to withstand high pressure and extreme heat above 537°C far better than standard stainless grades.

Ready-to-Use After Welding

Strong corrosion resistance is maintained around weld joints without requiring additional heat treatment after welding.

Refinery Stress Resistance

Prevents cracking caused by corrosive sulfur compounds, ensuring safe equipment shutdowns and restarts in oil refineries.

Engineered for High-Heat Durability

SS 347H features a specifically controlled metal grain structure to ensure long-lasting durability in continuous high-temperature service.

Frequently Asked Questions

SS 347 has a carbon limit of 0.08% max, whereas SS 347H specifies a controlled carbon range of 0.04%–0.10% and an ASTM No. 7 or coarser grain size for maximum creep strength above 537°C.

Columbium binds with carbon to form stable columbium carbides. This prevents chromium depletion along grain boundaries, protecting the alloy against intergranular corrosion during thermal exposure between 425°C and 850°C.

ASTM A312 covers seamless and welded pipes for general high-temperature service. ASTM A213 specifically covers seamless heat-exchanger and boiler tubes with stricter wall thickness tolerances.

While both are stabilized, SS 347 uses columbium and SS 321 uses titanium. SS 347 exhibits superior creep-rupture strength and higher resistance to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking in refinery service.

In the fully solution-annealed state, both grades are austenitic and non-magnetic. Heavy cold working or tube drawing may introduce slight magnetic permeability.

Yes, every shipment from our warehouse includes EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 MTCs verifying heat numbers, chemical chemistry, mechanical properties, and grain size testing.
