347H

347H  is high-carbon niobium-stabilized austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel bright bar, high-temperature enhanced variant of standard 347. Carbon content is controlled 0.04%~0.10%, niobium ≥10×C, Cr 17.0~19.0%, Ni 9.0~13.0%, single-phase austenite and nearly non-magnetic after solution annealing.
Dual strengthening system of high carbon and niobium: Niobium preferentially combines carbon to form stable NbC, completely blocking chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries between 425~850℃, eliminating intergranular corrosion sensitization after long-term medium-high temperature service and welding. High carbon delivers solid-solution hardening and dispersed high-temperature carbide precipitation, greatly improving stress rupture strength and creep resistance at 500~800℃. Its allowable stress under high temperature is far superior to standard 347 and 304H, resisting creep deformation and fracture under long-term high-temperature pressure, specially designed for high-temperature high-pressure pressure parts in boilers, thermal power and petrochemical industries.
Without molybdenum, its room-temperature corrosion resistance is close to 347 and 304, only suitable for chloride-free environments such as atmosphere, fresh water and weak acid. Limitation: For thick-wall pressure parts, rapid cooling after welding leaves minor free carbon and causes local sensitization; post-weld high-temperature solution annealing is recommended to eliminate hidden risks.

Core Advantages Over Competitors

1. High quality stability: Full closed-loop production and online spectral non-destructive inspection strictly control key alloy elements C, Cr, Ni, Nb, carbon stably limited 0.04~0.10% with qualified Nb/C ratio. Uniform controllable austenitic grain structure ensures negligible batch fluctuation of high-temperature creep strength, anti-sensitization and mechanical properties for consistent mass production of boiler and petrochemical high-temperature pressure parts.

2. Excellent surface quality: Dedicated high-precision cold drawing & centerless grinding lines produce bars free of scale, scratches and pits with smooth flat finish. Smooth surface reduces alternating thermal stress concentration to extend fatigue life of parts under long-term high-temperature service; secondary polishing is unnecessary for most conventional machining.

3. Ultra-high dimensional accuracy: Precision cold rolling mills and automatic online dimension detectors narrow tolerance range with tiny single-bar error and strong batch uniformity. Unified part specifications during automatic mass production raise finished yield and machining precision.

4. Rich product variety: According to market demand and customer's special requirements, customized products are provided to meet the use requirements under various complex working conditions, providing customers with more choices.

5. Perfect after-sales service: The perfect after-sales service system can respond to customer needs and feedback in a timely manner. For problems encountered by customers during use, technical support and solutions are provided to customers quickly.
