Stainless Steel Seamless Tubes Manufacturing Process

1. Raw Material Selection
High-quality stainless steel billets and strips are carefully selected for superior strength and corrosion resistance.

2. Tubes Formation
The selected raw material is formed into tubes using seamless extrusion methods, depending on the application.

3. Heat Treatment
Tubes undergo required controlled heat treatment to enhance mechanical properties and relieve internal stresses.

4. Cold Working and Finishing
After heat treatment, tube are cold-worked for better surface finish, dimensional accuracy and improved strength.

5. Quality Control and Testing
Every tube is thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure it meets international quality standards for performance and reliability.

Application of Stainless Steel 347 Seamless Tubes

Stainless Steel 347 Seamless Tubes are primarily used in the chemical and petrochemical industry, making it the highest-consuming sector due to their exceptional performance in high-temperature and corrosive environments. These tubes are widely used in heat exchangers, reactors, and piping systems where resistance to intergranular corrosion is essential. They are also utilized in thermal power plants for superheater and reheater tubing, and in aerospace exhaust manifolds due to their thermal stability. Additionally, SS 347 seamless tubes are found in refineries, furnace components, and fluid transport systems where both strength and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures are critical.

FAQ's

What is 347 stainless steel tube used for?

347 stainless steel tubes are used in demanding, high-temperature settings. Its key use is in equipment that operates between 800°F to 1500°F (427°C to 816°C). It resists harmful corrosion that can happen after welding. This makes it perfect for boiler tubes, superheater tubes, and high-temperature chemical process piping. It is also common in aircraft exhaust manifolds and refinery equipment.

The main difference is in the chemical composition. SS 347 has Niobium (also known as Columbium) and Tantalum added to its composition. These elements stop sensitization, where chromium carbide forms during welding. This makes SS 347 much better for welded parts exposed to high heat. Standard SS 304 lacks these stabilizing elements. 304 should not be used in the high-heat range of 800°F to 1500°F after it has been welded.

To weld 347 stainless steel tubes, you should use a matching filler metal. The AWS E347 or ER347 filler materials are the best choices. These fillers have Niobium, which keeps the weld area safe from corrosion. You can use standard welding methods like TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) or MIG (Gas Metal Arc Welding). Remember to clean the metal well before and after welding for the best result.

The composition of 347 stainless steel is an austenitic alloy, similar to 304, but with important additions. It contains a minimum of 17% Chromium and 9% Nickel for corrosion resistance. The essential difference is the addition of Niobium and Tantalum. These stabilizing elements are added at a total of about ten times the carbon content. The carbon content is usually less than 0.08%. This specific chemistry gives it its superior high-temperature performance, a feature we are proud to offer here at our facility.
