347H Stainless Steel Plate/Sheet Details
Overview
347H stainless steel plate/sheet is an austenitic stainless steel alloy that is highly resistant to high-temperature oxidation and corrosion. It is a high-carbon version of the 347 grade, specifically designed for use in high-temperature environments where strength and resistance to carbide precipitation are essential.
Key Characteristics
High-Temperature Resistance: Excellent resistance to oxidation and maintains strength at high temperatures up to approximately 1500°F (815°C).
Corrosion Resistance: Provides good resistance to corrosion and oxidation in high-temperature and aggressive environments.
Stabilized with Columbium (Niobium): The addition of columbium (niobium) stabilizes the steel, preventing carbide precipitation and improving high-temperature stability.
Mechanical Properties: Offers high strength and good ductility at elevated temperatures.
Formability: Can be easily fabricated through welding, machining, and forming processes.
