Product Overview
SS 347 / 347H nuts are high-temperature austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from stabilized grades UNS S34700 and UNS S34709. These nuts are alloyed with columbium (niobium) to prevent intergranular corrosion and carbide precipitation during welding and prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. SS 347H contains a higher carbon content than SS 347, enhancing its creep resistance and mechanical strength above 500°C.
SS 347 / 347H nuts are widely specified for bolted joints in heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and piping systems operating in the 400-900°C range, where standard 304/316 stainless steel nuts would fail due to sensitization or loss of strength. They are compliant with ASTM A194 Grade 8 and 8H, and are suitable for both oxidizing and moderately reducing environments in the chemical, petrochemical, and power generation industries.
