Stainless Steel Alloy 347H
Type 347H is a high carbon austenitic chromium stainless steel. Found in applications that demand high temperature resistance, other major design features include:
- Similar resistance and corrosion protection as Alloy 304
 - Used for heavy welded equipment when annealing is not possible
 - Good oxidation resistance, on par with most other austenitic stainless steels
 - Higher carbon allows for better high temperature creep properties
 
Due to Type 347H unique properties it is used in a variety of application in many of today’s critical industries:
- Boiler tubes and casings
 - Oil and gas refinery piping
 - Radiant superheaters
 - High-pressure steam pipes
 - Heat exchanger tubes
 - Cabin heaters
 - Heavy wall-welded equipment
 - Aircraft exhaust stacks and collector rings
 
Along with a higher level of carbon then regular Type 347, Type 347H stainless steel has a unique chemical composition that includes the follow:
- Fe balance
 - Cr 17-20%
 - Ni 9-13%
 - C 0.04-0.08%
 - Mn 0.5-2.0%
 - S 0.30% max
 - Si 0.75% max
 - P 0.03% max
 - Cb/Ta 1% max
 
All of the Type 347H stainless steel which supplied by Continental Steel, meets the leading international standards including ASTM, ASME, EN, and DIN.
