SS 347H stainless steel contains high carbon content (0.04–0.10%), along with chromium (17–19%) and nickel (9–12%), which enhance its resistance to high temperatures and intergranular corrosion. Its stabilizing addition of tantalum or niobium prevents carbide precipitation, making it ideal for high-stress applications like hexagonal bars.
The high carbon content in SS 347H enhances its high-temperature strength and resistance to creep, making it suitable for extreme heat environments. Unlike lower-carbon steels, it stabilizes its microstructure, preventing carbide precipitation and improving oxidation resistance, which is crucial for high-temperature applications compared to other stainless steels like 304 or 316.
SS 347H Hex Bar is commonly used in the aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation industries. It is preferred for its excellent high-temperature resistance, resistance to intergranular corrosion, and stability in harsh environments. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and prevent carbide precipitation makes it ideal for critical applications.
You’ll find Stainless Steel 347H Hex Bars commonly used in the manufacturing of heat exchangers, furnace components, boiler tubes, chemical processing equipment, and aerospace parts. Their ability to resist high-temperature corrosion makes them a go-to choice for power generation, petrochemical facilities, and industrial machinery that face oxidizing and high-heat conditions. Additionally, they are utilized in structural and mechanical applications where dimensional stability, strength, and long-lasting performance are crucial. Phehlukwayo Metal’s Stainless Steel 347H Hex Bars deliver consistent quality, durability, and reliability, making them a trusted choice for demanding industrial and engineering needs.
