1. The stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve has the following advantages:
1.1 Excellent high temperature resistance:
a. Niobium (Nb) is added as a stabilizer in the stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve, which significantly improves the ability to resist sensitization (carbide precipitation) and is suitable for high temperature environments of 425-900℃ (such as welding or long-term heat exposure);
b. The stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve is more resistant to high temperature creep and oxidation than 304/316;
1.2 Excellent welding performance:
The niobium element in the stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve inhibits intergranular corrosion in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of welding, and is suitable for parts that is not heat treated after welding;
1.3 Good corrosion resistance:
a. The stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve perform well in oxidizing acids (such as nitric acid), organic acids and weak bases, and has better resistance to intergranular corrosion than 304.
b. Freeman Valve's stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve is better than 304 in resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, but slightly worse than 316.
1.4 Good mechanical properties:
Freeman Valve's stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve has similar strength to stainless steel 304 at room temperature, but they can still maintain high strength at high temperatures.
2. The following issues should be noted when using stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve:
Stainless steel 347 ANSI globe valve is not suitable for reducing environments: it has limited corrosion resistance in sulfur-containing or reducing acids (such as sulfuric acid) and need to be selected according to the medium.
3. 347H stainless steel is a high-carbon version of 347 (carbon content 0.04-0.10%), optimized for high-temperature strength while retaining the niobium (Nb) stabilization properties of 347. The stainless steel 347H ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve has the following advantages:
3.1 Excellent high temperature performance
a. The stainless steel 347H ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve has higher high temperature strength: Due to the increased carbon content, 347H has better creep resistance and lasting strength at high temperatures (above 500°C), and is suitable for long-term high temperature service environments (such as boilers and heat exchangers).
b. The stainless steel 347H ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve has good anti-sensitization ability: Niobium (Nb) in the stainless steel 347H ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve can reduce the precipitation of chromium carbide (Cr23C6) and reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion.
3.2 The stainless steel 347H ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve has good weldability:
Similar to 347, the stainless steel 347H ANSI globe valve produced by Freeman Valve can maintain corrosion resistance without heat treatment after welding (but the heat input needs to be controlled to avoid heat affected zone problems).
3.3 Excellent corrosion resistance:
a. Freeman Valve's 347H stainless steel ANSI globe valve perform well in oxidizing media (such as nitric acid), better than 304H/321H.
b. Freeman Valve's 347H stainless steel ANSI globe valve has better resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking (SCC) than 304H, but not as good as 316H.
4. The following issues should be noted when using 347H stainless steel ANSI globe valve:
4.1 The low-temperature toughness of 347H stainless steel ANSI globe valve is slightly lower. Due to the high carbon content, the low-temperature impact toughness may be slightly lower than that of low-carbon austenitic stainless steel (such as 304L).
4.2 Stainless steel 347H ANSI globe valve is not suitable for reducing environments. It has limited corrosion resistance in sulfur-containing or reducing acids (such as sulfuric acid), so materials should be selected with caution.
