SA213 TP347H Stainless Steel

SA213 TP347H Stainless Steel is a type of austenitic stainless steel that contains high levels of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.

It is a modified version of SA213 TP347 with the addition of higher carbon content and an increased amount of niobium. This modification improves the high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance of the steel.

SA213 TP347H is a coarse grain stainless steel. It is widely used for the superheater and reheater tube in USC (ultra-supercritica) coal boilers. It is also used in high temperature operation.

SA213 TP347H Stainless Steel is a stabilized austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion due to the addition of niobium (columbium). It is often used in applications involving high temperatures and is suitable for welded components that cannot undergo solution annealing after fabrication.

TP347H is a stabilized austenitic stainless steel that is used in reheaters, heat exchangers, and superheaters. It is a corrosion-resistant material with a high creep strength. The high carbon content of TP347H gives it extra toughness. The chemical composition of TP347H includes: Silicon, Chromium, Nickel, Columbium +Tantalum.

TP347H has been used as the material of tubes in 600°C USC power plants in China. It can be easily elongated by 40%.

What is the difference between 347 and 347H?

347H is the higher carbon version of 347 plate. Due to the additional carbon present in 347H plate, it is tougher and generally more durable than 347 plate. These grades of stainless steel plate is available in a wide range of sizes at Penn Stainless Products.

This grade of stainless steel has an elongation of 40%. On the Brinell hardness scale 347 and 347H stainless steel plate has hardness of 201 and on the Rockwell B scale, both 347 and 347H have a hardness of 95.

What is the composition of SA213 TP347H Stainless Steel

Both contain between 17.0% and 20.0% chromium, and no more than 2.0% manganese. They are made of between 9.0% and 13.0% nickel. 347 stainless steel plate contains at most 0.04% phosphorous while 347H stainless steel can only contain up to 0.03% phosphorous.
