PRODUCT DATA of AISI 348
MaterialAISI 348
General InformationSimilar to AISI 347,but with a maximum Ta concentration of 0.1%. This grade was designed for nuclear applications to avoid long-life isotopes produced by irradiation of Tantalum
Effects of Space environmentThe natural oxide layer is not repaired in vacuum when damaged. Cold welding might occur in contact to similar materials.
