DESCRIPTION
These types of stainless are austenitic chromium steels containing columbium. They are recommended for parts fabricated by welding which cannot be subsequently annealed. These types also are used for parts which are intermittently heated and cooled to temperatures between 800 deg. and 1600 deg.F. The addition of columbium produces a stabilized type of stainless that eliminates carbide precipitation, and consequently, intergranular corrosion.

DESIGN FEATURES
• Superior general corrosion resistance over Type 321 due to stabilization with columbium.
• Reduced tendencies to form continuous networks of chromium carbides at the grain boundaries.
• Better high temperature properties than 304 or 304L. Generally used for parts which are intermittently heated up to 1500 deg. F. For continuous service the maximum temperature is 1650 deg. F.
• Type 347H has high carbon (.04 - . 10) for better high temperature creep properties.
• Improved intergranular corrosion resistance.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
High temperature chemical process, heat exchanger tubes
Refineries
High temperature steam service
