Stainless Steel 347 Seamless Tubes are niobium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel tubes manufactured without a longitudinal weld for applications where reliable corrosion resistance and stability during elevated-temperature service are required. Grade 347 is identified by UNS S34700 and is based on a chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel composition with niobium added to improve resistance to intergranular corrosion after exposure to elevated temperatures.
The niobium stabilization of Stainless Steel 347 helps control chromium carbide precipitation during heating and welding, making the grade suitable for applications involving thermal cycling and prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. It provides good general corrosion resistance together with useful high-temperature performance, while its seamless construction supports pressure and fluid-handling applications where a continuous tube structure is preferred.
Stainless Steel 347 Seamless Tubes are supplied to relevant ASTM and ASME specifications according to the intended service and product requirements. Common specifications include ASTM A213 and ASTM A269, with applicable ASME SA specifications available where required. Tubes can be supplied in different outside diameters, wall thicknesses, schedules, finishes and lengths.
These tubes are selected for heat exchangers, refinery equipment, chemical processing systems, power-generation equipment, high-temperature process lines, petrochemical plants and thermal processing equipment. The stabilized chemistry of 347 makes it particularly useful in environments where repeated heating or elevated-temperature operation could otherwise increase the risk of sensitization.
