347 stainless steel is a columbium (niobium)-stabilized austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel grade designated as UNS S34700. It was developed to provide improved resistance to intergranular corrosion after exposure to high temperatures during welding, fabrication, or long-term service. The addition of niobium stabilizes the carbon content by forming niobium carbide, preventing chromium carbide precipitation at grain boundaries and maintaining corrosion resistance in welded structures.

The alloy contains chromium and nickel as the primary alloying elements, with niobium added as a stabilizing element. Chromium provides excellent oxidation resistance and general corrosion resistance by forming a protective passive oxide film. Nickel maintains the austenitic structure, providing excellent toughness, ductility, and resistance to thermal shock. Niobium improves resistance to sensitization and allows the material to maintain stable performance in elevated-temperature environments.

347 stainless steel bars provide excellent creep strength, oxidation resistance, and mechanical stability at high temperatures. The material is suitable for continuous service temperatures up to approximately 870°C and intermittent service at higher temperatures. Compared with standard 304 stainless steel, 347 stainless steel offers improved performance after welding and prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

347 stainless steel bars are widely used in aerospace components, chemical processing equipment, power generation systems, petroleum refining equipment, heat exchangers, furnace components, and high-temperature pressure applications. The alloy is particularly suitable for welded structures and components exposed to repeated heating and cooling cycles where long-term reliability and resistance to intergranular corrosion are required.
