SS 347 Plates are columbium (niobium) stabilized austenitic stainless steel plates designed to excel in high-temperature environments where intergranular corrosion is a primary concern. The addition of columbium minimizes chromium carbide precipitation during welding and service at temperatures between 427°C and 816°C. This stabilization makes SS 347 superior to Grade 321 in certain aqueous and high-temperature conditions, offering exceptional resistance to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking, which is frequently encountered in oil refinery equipment.

Manufactured in strict adherence to ASTM A240 and ASME SA240, these plates provide higher creep and stress rupture properties than Grades 304 and 321. Grade 347 is often preferred for heavy-duty welded assemblies that operate in corrosive, high-heat zones and cannot be post-weld annealed. From aircraft exhaust manifolds and rocket engine parts to chemical processing reactors and steam service components, our SS 347 plates deliver the structural stability and long-term oxidation resistance required for the world's most demanding industrial thermal applications.



SS 347 Plates Features

  • » Columbium (Niobium) Stabilization: Alloyed with Columbium to effectively prevent chromium carbide precipitation, ensuring the plate remains immune to intergranular corrosion after welding.
  • » High-Temperature Creep Strength: Offers superior creep and stress rupture properties compared to Grades 304 and 321, maintaining structural integrity under high stress and heat.
  • » Exceptional Oxidation Resistance: Capable of withstanding oxidation in service temperatures up to 815°C (1500°F), ideal for aerospace and power generation components.
  • » Polythionic Acid Resistance: Highly resistant to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking, a critical feature for refinery equipment operating at high temperatures.
  • » No Post-Weld Annealing: Due to its stabilized chemistry, these plates can be used in the as-welded condition without the risk of losing corrosion resistance in the heat-affected zone.
  • » Cryogenic Stability: Like most austenitic grades, SS 347 maintains excellent toughness and mechanical strength even at sub-zero temperatures.
  • » Corrosion Versatility: Provides general corrosion resistance similar to SS 304, but with enhanced protection in strongly oxidizing environments and high-heat aqueous solutions.
  • » Heavy Wall Suitability: Excellent for the fabrication of heavy-wall pressure vessels and boilers where thermal cycling and chemical exposure occur simultaneously.
