stainless steel 347 - coil slitting 347 UNS S34700 Columbium and tantalum have been added to
347 to form columbium carbide in preference to chromium
carbide in the sensitization range. Columbium stabilization
is desired because its carbides are better retained
in welds. It also delays becoming sensitized during
exposures to temperatures in the sensitization range.
Type 347 does require more care due to the presence
of columbium.
This grade has similar applications to Type 321,
others include aircraft exhausts and manifolds,
fire walls, extended welding of heavy sections for
high temperature use, heavy wall welded equipment
and heat exchangers.
