Oxidation and Corrosion Resistance: TP347 exhibits excellent resistance to oxidation, scaling, and corrosion in high-temperature environments (up to 800°C / 1472°F). Its chromium (Cr) content (~17-20%) and nickel (Ni) content (~9-13%) form a protective oxide layer, ensuring long-term durability.
Stabilization with Niobium: The addition of niobium minimizes carbide precipitation during welding or prolonged high-temperature exposure, preventing sensitization and intergranular corrosion.
Creep and Rupture Resistance: TP347 maintains high tensile strength and creep resistance under sustained thermal stress, making it ideal for pressure components in power plants and petrochemical industries.
Thermal Stability: The austenitic microstructure remains stable across a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent performance in cyclic heating/cooling conditions.
Ease of Welding: TP347 is readily weldable using common techniques (TIG, MIG, or SAW) without post-weld heat treatment, reducing fabrication time and costs.
Formability: Its ductility allows for cold working and forming into complex geometries, supporting versatile industrial applications.
Acid and Alkali Resistance: Performs well in environments containing sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and alkaline solutions, making it suitable for chemical processing equipment.
Anti-Fouling Properties: Smooth surface finish reduces scaling and fouling in heat transfer applications, improving operational efficiency.
Certifications: Conforms to ASTM A213 (seamless tubes), ASME SA213 (pressure applications), and equivalent EN/DIN standards (e.g., 1.4550).
Quality Assurance: Manufactured under strict controls for chemical composition, mechanical properties, and non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure reliability.
