Stainless Steel 347 Hollow Bar is an austenitic stainless steel that’s stabilized with columbium (niobium), which boosts its resistance to intergranular corrosion. Its typical chemical makeup consists of 17–19% chromium, 9–13% nickel, along with trace amounts of columbium and tantalum. This material boasts impressive mechanical properties, featuring a tensile strength of about 515 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, and an elongation of 40%. It retains its mechanical integrity even at high temperatures, making it a great choice for high-heat applications. Additionally, this stainless steel grade offers good creep and stress-rupture resistance, particularly in oxidizing environments.
