The Stainless Steel 347 Forgings from Neith Metals are made up of iron, chromium (17–19%), nickel (9–13%), and niobium as a stabilizing agent, with a carbon content of up to 0.08%. This specific composition boosts resistance to intergranular corrosion while maintaining strength at elevated temperatures. On the mechanical side, these forgings deliver a tensile strength ranging from 515 to 750 MPa, yield strength between 205 and 350 MPa, and an elongation of up to 40%. Their outstanding toughness, oxidation resistance, and high-temperature performance make them perfect for demanding industrial and mechanical applications.

Stainless Steel 347 forgings have limitations in extreme temperatures above 1600°F (870°C), susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking in chloride environments, and reduced formability compared to some other stainless steel grades.
The forging temperature range for Stainless Steel 347 is typically between 2100°F (1149°C) and 2200°F (1204°C). It ensures optimal grain structure and mechanical properties for high-performance applications.
Stainless Steel 347 forgings require minimal maintenance, primarily periodic cleaning to remove contaminants. Regular inspection for corrosion or wear is recommended, along with ensuring proper lubrication for moving parts in harsh environments.
Neith Metals’ Stainless Steel 347 Forgings are extensively utilized in industries that require high strength, heat resistance, and corrosion protection. They are particularly well-suited for creating flanges, valves, fittings, fasteners, shafts, and structural components. Common uses include parts for boilers and furnaces, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, petrochemical equipment, and machinery for chemical processing. The forging process guarantees superior mechanical integrity, toughness, and durability, making these products ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. Their blend of strength, reliability, and long-lasting performance makes Stainless Steel 347 forgings a vital choice for various applications.
