Key Attributes
-
High-Temperature Stability
- TP347H: Stabilized with niobium (Nb), it resists carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion during prolonged exposure to 800–900°C environments, such as stainless steel exhaust pipe tips and turbine manifolds.
- 310S: With 25% chromium and 20% nickel, it maintains structural integrity in extreme heat (up to 1100°C), ideal for aerospace combustion chambers and industrial kilns.
-
Corrosion & Oxidation Resistance
- Both grades form a protective chromium oxide layer, preventing scaling and sulfidation in acidic or sulfur-rich atmospheres.
-
Mechanical Durability
- TP347H offers superior creep rupture strength, while 310S excels in tensile performance under cyclic thermal stress.

Quality Assurance | Ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic pressure checks, and EN 10204 3.1 certification |
Detailed Performance Analysis
1. Tensile & Bend Strength
- Tensile Strength:
- TP347H achieves ≥515 MPa, ensuring reliability in high-pressure aerospace hydraulic systems.
- 310S retains ≥600 MPa at 100°C, critical for jet engine components subjected to rapid thermal cycling.
- Bend Strength:
- Both grades support tight-radius bending (1.5x OD) without cracking, essential for complex stainless steel stove pipe layouts.
2. Weight Calculation
Use the formula:
Example: For a 100 mm OD pipe with 5 mm wall thickness:
3. Identification Marking
- Laser Etching: Permanent markings include ASTM/EN standards, heat number, and material grade (e.g., "TP347H").
- Color Coding: Optional PVC sleeves with ISO-compliant colors for quick identification in industrial settings.
4. Causes of Stainless Steel Rust
- Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts can initiate pitting corrosion.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches from improper handling or stainless steel exhaust pipe tips installation expose underlying metal to oxidation.
- Thermal Degradation: Repeated heating above 900°C (for 310S) may deplete chromium oxide layers, requiring protective coatings.
Applications
- Aerospace: Jet engine exhausts, fuel injection systems.
- Energy: Boiler superheaters, nuclear reactor tubing.
- Industrial: Stainless steel stove pipe, chemical processing reactors.
