PRODUCT DATA of AISI 347
MaterialAISI 347
General InformationType 347 is a niobium/tantalum stabilized austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel which was developed to improve intergranular-corrosion resistance. it is stabilized against chromium carbide formation by the addition of niobium and tantalum. Since niobium and tantalum have a stronger affinity for carbon than chromium, niobiumtantalum carbides precipitate within the grains instead of forming at the grain boundaries.
PrecautionsAlthough the alloy is resistant to sensitization and associated intergranualr corrosion, its general corrosion resistance is slightly lowered by prolonged exposures in the sensitization range of 425 to 870 C
Effects of Space environmentThe natural oxide layer is not repaired in vacuum when damaged. Cold welding might occur in contact to similar materials
