spore: profile id: stainless-347h spore_version: 0.2 family: stainless-austenitic name: AISI 347H stainless steel abbreviation: 347H role: High-carbon niobium-stabilised austenitic stainless steel for hot service category: metals type: steels-and-stainless summary: | AISI 347H (UNS S34709) is the high-carbon version of AISI 347, an austenitic stainless steel stabilised with niobium (columbium) and specified with a carbon range of 0.04 to 0.10 %. A tubing supplier table for ASTM A213 347H prints a density of 7.98 kg/dm3 and a modulus of 29.0 x 10^6 psi. Goodfellow prints a modulus of 200 GPa at 20 degC, 172 GPa at 400 degC and 155 GPa at 600 degC, and a maximum use temperature in air of 850 degC. The Rolled Alloys combined 347/347H bulletin prints a 100,000-hour rupture strength of 3.55 ksi at 1400 degF and 1.95 ksi at 1500 degF. No space-environment data were found for this grade. best_for: Welded parts for hot service in air and steam, where creep strength to 1500 degF is needed and niobium stabilisation resists intergranular attack in the as-welded condition weakest_at: 'Strength when hot: typical tensile strength falls from 93.3 ksi at 68 degF to 69.5 ksi at 800 degF (Rolled Alloys), and no vacuum, radiation or atomic-oxygen data were found' identity: formula: 'Fe-based austenitic alloy: Fe balance, Cr 17.0 to 19.0 %, Ni 9.0 to 13.0 %, C 0.04 to 0.10 %, Nb plus Ta at 8 x C minimum and 1.0 % maximum, Mn 2.0 % maximum, Si 0.75 % maximum, P 0.045 % maximum, S 0.03 % maximum' source: tubingchina347h where: C and Nb plus Ta from the ASTM A213 347/347H composition table (tubing supplier page);

The ATI 347 page covers UNS S34700 only and links to a PDF that was not reachable. Totalmateria pages show property names but their values sit behind a registration wall. - The Goodfellow mechanical table is attributed to a named product (Alleima 8R40) and is not labelled as 347H, so it is not used. Its physical table is labelled as 347H and is used. - The Rolled Alloys bulletin covers 347 and 347H in one table. Its melting range, thermal conductivity, expansion, electrical conductivity, minimum specified properties, typical hot strength and rupture values are for the combined grade, and each row says so in its conditions. - The tubing supplier table prints 515 MPa, 205 MPa and 192 HBW without saying whether they are minimum or typical, and its hardness column header is printed as Harndess HBW. - 'Composition conflicts between sources: chromium is 17.0 to 19.0 % in the Rolled Alloys table but 17.0 to 20.0 % in the tubing supplier table; nickel is 9.0 to 13.0 % in both but 11.0 % nominal in Goodfellow; phosphorus is 0.045 % in Rolled Alloys and 0.04 % in the tubing table. The recipe uses the Rolled Alloys ranges for the elements it gives and the tubing table for carbon and niobium.' - The EN number for 347H was not confirmed. The 1.4550 number belongs to 347, not 347H. A search returned a supplier cross-reference that gives 1.4912 for X7CrNiNb18-10, but that snippet was not confirmed on a fetched page, so no EN designation is listed. - 'Density differs between sources: 7.98 kg/dm3 (tubing table) and 7.9 g/cm3 (Goodfellow, rounded). Both are kept with their sources.' - Modulus of 29.0 x 10^6 psi from the tubing table is about 200 GPa and is not listed separately; the Goodfellow value of 200 GPa is used. - Electrical conductivity (28 %IACS) and creep rupture strength (100,000 hours) are not canonical property names in spores/property-canon.yaml. They are written as electrical_conductivity and creep_rupture_strength_100000h, and the Rolled Alloys rupture values are for 347 and 347H together. - Hardness is not a canonical property name in spores/property-canon.yaml, so the benchmark is written as hardness. - The Goodfellow maximum service temperature of 850 degC in air is a supplier statement for 347H. It is higher than the 800 degC printed for 347 in the stainless-347 profile, and no datasheet with a stated duration was read for 347H. - Creep and rupture data for 347H alone were not found on a fetched page. The Rolled Alloys figures are extrapolated averages for 347 and 347H together, and the bulletin says extrapolation to 100,000 hours is not good practice above 1800 degF. - No critical-mineral list status for nickel, chromium or niobium was read from the official USGS 2025 list or the EU list. critical_lists is left empty for all three. - PubChem records for nickel were not opened in this run. The hazard classes come from the Uddeholm safety information sheet for steel articles, which covers Uddeholm alloys and not a 347H sheet. - No process route (melting, casting) for 347H was read from a primary source, so the recipe has no process description. - Atomic weights were not read from a fetched page and are left out of the recipe parts. - No cryogenic, radiation, outgassing, cold-welding, vacuum or atomic-oxygen data were found for 347H. - The makeitfrom AISI 347H page returned HTTP 403 and was not read. - The tubing supplier page refuses plain curl requests (HTTP 406), so verify-values cannot read it. Its five mechanical and physical values and its UNS and A213 designations were checked by hand against the page text fetched with browser request headers. sources: tubingchina347h: title: 347 vs 347H vs 347HFG, tubing supplier comparison with ASTM A213 347H composition, physical and mechanical tables id: UNS S34709; ASTM A213 347/347H url: https://tubingchina.com/347-vs-347h-vs-347hfg.htm kind: web license: Supplier web page (cited, not reproduced) goodfellow347h: title: 'AISI 347H Stainless Steel: properties, processing and applications (Goodfellow)' id: AISI 347H url: https://www.goodfellow.com/uk/resources/aisi-347h-stainless-steel-properties-processing-applications/ kind: web license: Supplier web page (cited, not reproduced) rolled347h: title: Bulletin No. 147, 347/347H Data Sheet (Rolled Alloys, rev. 03/21) id: UNS S34700, S34709; ASME SA-240; ASTM A240, A262 url: https://www.rolledalloys.ca/wp-content/uploads/347_stainless-steel-data-sheet-rolled-alloys.pdf year: 2021 kind: datasheet license: Manufacturer datasheet (cited, not reproduced) rolledrupture: title: Rupture Strength, average extrapolated 100,000-hour rupture strength table (Rolled Alloys) id: Rolled Alloys rupture table, rows 347, 347H url: https://www.rolledalloys.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Rupture_Strength_PDF.pdf year: 2022 kind: datasheet license: Manufacturer table (cited, not reproduced) uddeholm-sis: title: Alloys delivered from Uddeholms AB, material safety information sheet (release 2010-01-04, review 2018-09-10) url: https://www.uddeholm.com/app/uploads/sites/235/2024/05/Alloys-delivered-from-Uddeholms-AB.pdf year: 2018 kind: datasheet license: Manufacturer safety information sheet (cited, not reproduced) usgs-nickel-2026: title: Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, Nickel id: USGS MCS 2026 url: https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2026/mcs2026-nickel.pdf year: 2026 kind: report license: public domain (USGS) usgs-chromium-2026: title: Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, Chromium id: USGS MCS 2026 url: https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2026/mcs2026-chromium.pdf year: 2026 kind: report license: public domain (USGS) usgs-niobium-2026: title: Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, Niobium (Columbium) id: USGS MCS 2026 url: https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2026/mcs2026-niobium.pdf year: 2026 kind: report license: public domain (USGS) license: CC-BY-4.0 updated: '2026-10-26' review: status: draft method: assistant checked_values: 31 unreachable: 1 caveats: 6 note: 'Values were read by an AI assistant on 2026-10-26 from the pages and PDFs named in each entry. Unreachable: makeitfrom AISI 347H page (HTTP 403). Caveats: the Rolled Alloys values cover 347 and 347H together; the tubing table does not label tensile, yield or hardness values as minimum or typical; the hazard classes come from a general steel-article sheet for Uddeholm alloys; the chromium and nickel ranges differ between sources; the 850 degC air limit is a supplier statement.' story: recipe: line: 'AISI 347H is an iron-based austenitic alloy. It is the high-carbon form of AISI 347: carbon is specified at 0.04 to 0.10 %, and niobium at a minimum of 8 times the carbon content (to 1.0 % maximum with tantalum) ties the carbon up. The process route (melting and casting) was not read from a primary source.' parts: - name: Iron symbol: Fe share: balance role: The matrix of the alloy; the other elements are dissolved in it. - name: Chromium symbol: Cr share: 17.0 to 19.0 wt % (Rolled Alloys) role: Gives the stainless steel its corrosion and oxidation resistance. - name: Nickel symbol: Ni share: 9.0 to 13.0 wt % role: Part of the austenitic structure. The sources read name no separate function for it. - name: Carbon symbol: C share: 0.04 to 0.10 wt % (tubing table, ASTM A213 347H) role: Higher carbon than 347. Niobium ties up the carbon so that chromium carbide does not form at grain boundaries (Goodfellow). - name: Niobium (columbium), with tantalum symbol: Nb share: 8 x C minimum to 1.0 wt % maximum role: The stabiliser. It keeps chromium carbide from forming at grain boundaries in the sensitisation range (Goodfellow). - name: Manganese symbol: Mn share: 2.0 wt % maximum role: Printed as a maximum in the composition tables; the sources read give no function for it. - name: Silicon symbol: Si share: 0.75 wt % maximum role: Printed as a maximum in the composition tables; the sources read give no function for it. - name: Phosphorus symbol: P share: 0.045 wt % maximum (Rolled Alloys) role: Impurity limit in the composition tables. - name: Sulphur symbol: S share: 0.03 wt % maximum role: Impurity limit in the composition tables. risk_groups: - title: For people lead: Dust and fumes from working the steel carry the hazards, because the sources classify nickel and chromium, not the massive metal. level: 1 verdict: Nickel and chromium classes apply to dust and fumes points: - label: Nickel in the alloy line: Uddeholm's safety information sheet for steel articles classes nickel with H317, H351 and H372 (DANGER). It says massive steel needs no label, but dust and fumes from grinding, polishing, welding or cutting carry the risk. - label: Nickel limit rule line: The same sheet puts steels above 10 % nickel in STOT RE1 and steels above 1 % nickel in Carcinogen Category 2. The 347H range of 9 to 13 % nickel straddles the 10 % line, so the class depends on the actual heat. - title: If it fails lead: These are failure routes printed in the sources. None is a measured space result. points: - label: Intergranular attack line: Goodfellow says the niobium addition resists intergranular corrosion after exposure at about 427 to 850 degC, the range where chromium carbide forms in unstabilised grades. - label: Polythionic acid line: Rolled Alloys says the grade has good resistance to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking, which arises in oil-refinery equipment. - label: Hot strength line: Rolled Alloys gives a typical tensile strength of 93.3 ksi at 68 degF and 69.5 ksi at 800 degF, and a 100,000-hour rupture strength of 1.95 ksi at 1500 degF. - title: Handling and storage points: - label: Welds that cannot be annealed line: Rolled Alloys says the grade keeps good resistance to intergranular corrosion in the as-welded condition, and Goodfellow says stabilisation removes the need for post-weld annealing in most service conditions. - label: Dust control line: The Uddeholm sheet says dust and fume exposure should be controlled and that personal protective equipment must be used during grinding, polishing, welding or cutting. why: AISI 347H is a stainless steel for hot service that keeps its corrosion resistance after welding and heating. It has 17 to 19 % chromium and 9 to 13 % nickel, with a higher carbon range (0.04 to 0.10 %) than AISI 347. Niobium ties up the carbon so that chromium carbide does not form at the grain boundaries. Goodfellow prints a maximum use temperature in air of 850 degC for 347H, and the Rolled Alloys bulletin gives creep strength up to 1500 degF. uses: - where: Refinery heaters and recuperators line: Rolled Alloys lists fired heater tubes and recuperator tube sheets, shells and supports among the applications of the 347/347H grade, and says 347 is especially suited where temperatures exceed 550 degF and sulfidation resistance is needed. - where: Hangers, trays and reactor equipment line: The same bulletin lists hanger rods, distributor trays, thermowells and equipment in and around reactors, where the grade's resistance to polythionic acid is relevant. can_do: - label: Carry heat in air value: 850 degC benchmark: max_service_temp line: Goodfellow prints a maximum use temperature in air of 850 degC for 347H, and 750 degC in steam. Rolled Alloys says the 347/347H grade is useful to 1500 degF for oxidation. - label: Resist welding damage value: Niobium stabilised line: Goodfellow says niobium stabilisation resists intergranular corrosion after exposure in the sensitisation range of about 427 to 850 degC, and Rolled Alloys says the grade keeps good resistance in the as-welded condition. - label: Stiffness value: 200 GPa benchmark: elastic_modulus line: The Young's modulus at 20 degC is 200 GPa, from the Goodfellow 347H table. It falls to 172 GPa at 400 degC and 155 GPa at 600 degC. - label: Typical tensile strength value: 93.3 ksi at 68 degF benchmark: ultimate_tensile_strength line: Typical tensile strength at 68 degF is 93.3 ksi for the 347/347H grade, falling to 69.5 ksi at 800 degF (Rolled Alloys). The ASTM A213 tube table prints 515 MPa. compare: AISI 347H is the high-carbon version of AISI 347. Its carbon range is 0.04 to 0.10 %, a higher range than 347, and it has its own UNS number, S34709. Rolled Alloys prints both grades on one bulletin, and its niobium rule for 347H is 8 times the carbon content instead of 10 times. Both grades resist polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking. The sibling 347 profile is in this site as stainless-347. compare_rows: - label: Density benchmark: density - label: Melting range benchmark: melting_point - label: Thermal conductivity benchmark: thermal_conductivity handling: - Specify the carbon range and the product form, since the ASTM A213 values are for tube and the ASTM A240 minimums are for sheet, plate and strip. - Weld in the as-welded condition where possible; Goodfellow prefers TIG welding for this grade. - Control dust and fumes when grinding, polishing, welding or cutting, since the Uddeholm sheet names inhalation of nickel and chromium dust and fumes as the hazard. good_for: - High-temperature welded parts in air and steam, rated to 850 degC in air (Goodfellow). - Refinery service where polythionic acid cracking is a concern (Rolled Alloys). - Fired heater tubes and recuperator tube sheets (Rolled Alloys application list). watch_out: - 'Strength falls when hot: 93.3 ksi at 68 degF against 69.5 ksi at 800 degF (Rolled Alloys).' - Nickel content of 9 to 13 % puts the hazard class on the 10 % CLP line, so check the heat certificate (Uddeholm sheet). - Many values are for 347 and 347H together, so check the tube or sheet table that matches the product you buy. - No vacuum, radiation or atomic-oxygen data were found for this profile. verdict: AISI 347H is the high-carbon, niobium-stabilised version of 347, with a 200 GPa modulus at 20 degC and a supplier-stated use limit of 850 degC in air. Its hot strength falls steeply above room temperature, its nickel content sets the hazard class of its dust and fumes, and this profile lacks space-environment numbers.
