CHEMICAL COMPOSITION %

* The columbium plus tantalum content shall not be less than 10 times the carbon and not more than 1.0%

Note: 347H requires the columbium plus tantalum content to be not <8 times the carbon content and not > 1.0%

DESCRIPTION

These types of stainless are austenitic chromium steels containing columbium. They are recommended for parts fabricated by welding which cannot be subsequently annealed. These types also are used for parts which are intermittently heated and cooled to temperatures between 800o and 1600oF. The addition of columbium produces a stabilized type of stainless that eliminates carbide precipitation and, consequently, intergranular corrosion.

DESIGN FEATURES

• Superior general corrosion resistance over Type 321 due to stabilization with columbium.
• Reduced tendencies to form continuous networks of chromium carbides at the grain boundaries.
• Better high temperature properties than 304 or 304L. Generally used for parts which are intermittently up to heated up to 1500oF. For continuous service the maximum temperature is 1650oF.
• Type 347H has high carbon (.04-.10) for better high temperature creep properties.
• Improved intergranular corrosion resistance.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• High temperature chemical process heat exchanger tubes
• Refineries
• High temperature steam service

TENSILE REQUIREMENTS

KSI can be converted to MPA (Megapascals) by multiplying by 6.89.
