What are Stainless Steel 347 / 347H Bars?

Stainless Steel 347/347H bars are high-strength, corrosion-resistant bars primarily composed of chromium and nickel, with added niobium for enhanced stability against intergranular corrosion. They offer excellent resistance to oxidation and high temperatures, making them suitable for applications in industries such as chemical processing, aerospace, and petroleum refining.

Stainless Steel 347/347H bars are highly versatile and widely used in various industrial applications due to their unique combination of properties. These bars are primarily composed of chromium and nickel, with additional elements such as niobium and manganese, which enhance their strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance.

347 Stainless Steel Bars

One of the key features of Stainless Steel 347/347H bars is their exceptional corrosion resistance. They exhibit excellent resistance to oxidation, as well as to corrosion from acids, alkalis, and various chemical environments, making them suitable for use in aggressive industrial settings, including chemical processing, petroleum refining, and pharmaceutical production.

Moreover, these bars offer superior strength and toughness, even at elevated temperatures. The addition of niobium helps to stabilize the material against sensitization during welding, preventing the formation of chromium carbide precipitation along the grain boundaries, which can compromise corrosion resistance. This makes Stainless Steel 347/347H bars particularly well-suited for applications in high-temperature environments, such as in heat exchangers, furnace components, and aerospace components.

Another notable feature of these bars is their ease of fabrication and machining. They can be readily formed, welded, and machined using standard techniques, allowing for the production of complex components and structures with precise specifications. This versatility makes Stainless Steel 347/347H bars highly desirable in industries requiring intricate fabrication processes, such as automotive manufacturing, construction, and architectural design.

In addition to their mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties, Stainless Steel 347/347H bars offer excellent stability and durability over a wide range of operating conditions. They exhibit minimal thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring dimensional stability and integrity under fluctuating temperatures. This characteristic makes them ideal for use in applications subject to thermal cycling and mechanical stress, such as in power generation plants, chemical reactors, and offshore oil platforms.

Furthermore, Stainless Steel 347/347H bars are known for their hygienic properties, making them suitable for use in food processing, pharmaceutical, and medical applications. They are non-reactive and easy to clean, ensuring the integrity and purity of processed materials and medical devices.

Manufacturing Process Of Stainless Steel 347 Bars

Casting

Melting and Casting

Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.

Forming Round Bar

Forming

Most cast steel is formed by hot rolling—the slab, bloom, or billet is heated and passed through large rollers, stretching out the steel into a longer, thinner form.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment

Heat treatment strengthens rolled stainless steel by recrystallizing the deformed microstructure. Most stainless steel is heat treated by annealing.

Descaling

Descaling

A rolled piece of stainless steel acquires a layer of oxidized “mill scale,” which needs to be washed away to restore a shiny surface finish.

Cutting Round Bar

Cutting or Machining

Stainless steel is cut to a specified shape and size. The stainless steel can be sheared with circular knives, sawed with high-speed blades, or blanked with punches.
