Why this combination
Why SS 347H in pipes
Its carbon (0.04–0.10%), coarse grain and niobium give high creep-rupture strength and resistance to sensitisation, a combination valued in power and refinery piping.
Thick-section welds in SS 347H need care to avoid reheat cracking; follow the qualified procedure.
