These Stainless Steel 347 Forgings are primarily made up of iron, chromium, nickel, and niobium, along with trace amounts of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur. The inclusion of niobium helps stabilize the alloy against chromium carbide precipitation, which enhances its resistance to intergranular corrosion. On the mechanical side, 347 stainless steel boasts high tensile and yield strength, impressive toughness, and the ability to maintain its structural integrity even at elevated temperatures. Its excellent weldability, creep resistance, and oxidation resistance make it a go-to choice for both high-stress and high-temperature applications.
