Material properties analysis
ASMESA312TP347H stainless steel welded pipe, belonging to the austenitic stainless steel series, is based on 347 stainless steel by adding a small amount of niobium element (Nb) to strengthen the improvement. This improvement not only retains the good corrosion resistance and weldability of 347 stainless steel, but also significantly improves its strength and creep resistance in high temperature environments. In the chemical composition of TP347H, the chromium (Cr) content is about 18%-20%, the nickel (Ni) content is about 9%-12%, and the appropriate amount of niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo) and other elements constitute its unique alloy system. This alloy structure enables TP347H stainless steel welded pipe to maintain high mechanical strength and excellent oxidation resistance in the high temperature range of 600°C to 800°C.
