UNS S34709|1.4912|TP347H Seamless Stainless Steel Pipe
Distinguished by the strategic addition of Niobium (Nb) and an optimized carbon content, our TP347H tubing ensures exceptional stability and resistance to intergranular corrosion at service temperatures up to 815°C (1500°F). These pipes are indispensable for mission-critical applications in superheater tubes, reheater coils, and high-pressure steam systems. Through advanced cold-drawing and precise solution annealing, XinZhe guarantees a uniform grain structure and maximum durability under intense thermal stress.
“Our precision control over the Niobium-to-Carbon ratio ensures that carbides are fully stabilized, preventing sensitization and maintaining superior structural integrity during prolonged high-temperature service.”
What Is Seamless TP347H Pipe?
Seamless Stainless Steel TP347H Pipe (UNS S34709 / 1.4912) – High-Temperature Creep-Resistant Solution
1. Overview of Seamless TP347H Pipe
Product Overview
Seamless stainless steel TP347H pipe (UNS S34709 / W.Nr. 1.4912) is a high-carbon, niobium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel specifically designed for long-term service in elevated temperature environments.
Manufactured from solid billets through hot piercing and cold finishing processes, seamless TP347H pipes feature a uniform, weld-free structure, ensuring superior pressure resistance and structural integrity in critical applications.
The “H” grade designation indicates a higher carbon content (0.04%–0.10%), which significantly enhances creep rupture strength at high temperatures. The addition of Niobium (Nb) stabilizes the alloy, preventing chromium carbide precipitation and ensuring excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion (IGC) during welding and high-temperature exposure.
2. Key Technical Advantages
- Enhanced Creep Rupture Strength Higher carbon content improves resistance to deformation under sustained stress at temperatures up to 815°C.
- Niobium Stabilization (Anti-Sensitization) Prevents carbide precipitation at grain boundaries, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance.
- Excellent Oxidation Resistance Comparable to TP321 and TP304, with improved mechanical stability under thermal cycling conditions.
- High Pressure & Temperature Capability Manufactured according to ASTM A312 / ASME SA312 standards, suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems.
- Good Fabrication & Weldability Maintains good ductility, allowing for bending, flaring, and welding using standard industrial processes.
Additional Information
To provide a comprehensive overview of this high-performance material, here are the detailed technical specifications and performance data for 347H stainless steel.
The enhanced strength of TP347H is a direct result of its high carbon content, while retaining the essential niobium, chromium, and nickel levels for heat and corrosion resistance.
Grade 347H is specifically designed to maintain its strength and shape in high-stress, high-temperature applications.
These physical properties highlight the material's ability to perform reliably under extreme thermal conditions.
