Thanks to their advanced manufacturing techniques, rigorous quality assurance, and prompt delivery, Starc Metals guarantees that their Stainless Steel 347H Forgings offer remarkable performance, high-temperature strength, and a long service life, making them a trusted choice for demanding industrial and engineering applications throughout Australia.
Stainless Steel 347H Forgings are an austenitic stainless steel grade that’s stabilized with niobium, specifically designed to excel in high-temperature environments and resist intergranular corrosion. Their chemical makeup features 17–19% chromium, 9–13% nickel, and a higher carbon content of up to 0.10%, which boosts creep strength. These forgings showcase impressive mechanical properties, with tensile strength ranging from 515–750 MPa, yield strength around 205 MPa, and hardness reaching up to 200 HB. They maintain their structural integrity under thermal stress, providing excellent weldability, oxidation resistance, and toughness, even in high-temperature and corrosive industrial settings.
