Stainless Steel 347H Fasteners are high-carbon, niobium-stabilized fasteners made from UNS S34709 stainless steel. They are primarily selected for high-temperature applications requiring resistance to oxidation, corrosion and intergranular attack.

Stainless Steel 347H Fasteners – UNS S34709 Bolts, Nuts & Studs

Stainless Steel 347H Fasteners are high-carbon, niobium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel fasteners designed for elevated-temperature service. Identified by UNS S34709, Werkstoff No. 1.4961, JIS SUS 347H, and EN X6CrNiNb18-12, they offer good oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and creep strength at high temperatures. Their stabilized structure helps reduce chromium carbide precipitation during prolonged heating, making SS 347H Fasteners suitable for heat exchangers, boilers, steam systems, petrochemical equipment, power-generation systems, and waste heat recovery units.

We supply 347H Stainless Steel Bolts and Nuts, stud bolts, threaded rods, hex bolts, screws, washers and custom fasteners in different dimensions, thread forms and finishes according to project requirements.

What is Stainless Steel 347H?

SS 347H is the higher-carbon version of Type 347 stainless steel. The addition of niobium provides stabilization against sensitization, while the higher carbon content supports improved high-temperature strength compared with standard 347 in suitable service conditions.

The grade is particularly useful where fasteners remain exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods. This makes High Carbon 347H Fasteners a practical choice for demanding industrial assemblies where both mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance are important.

Key Features and Benefits of 347H Stainless Steel Fasteners

  • High-temperature strength: Higher carbon content provides improved creep and stress-rupture performance compared with standard 347.
  • Niobium stabilization: Niobium helps stabilize carbon and reduces susceptibility to intergranular corrosion after elevated-temperature exposure.
  • Excellent thermal stability: Suitable for prolonged high-temperature applications.
  • Good corrosion resistance: Provides the corrosion resistance expected from an austenitic Cr-Ni stainless steel.
  • Strong joint integrity: Suitable for pressure, piping and equipment connections operating under demanding thermal conditions.
  • Good oxidation resistance: Useful in furnace, heat-recovery and power-generation environments.
  • Wide product availability: Available as bolts, nuts, studs, screws, threaded rods and specialty fasteners.
  • International specifications: Can be manufactured and supplied to applicable ASTM, ASME, DIN, EN and JIS requirements.
