06Cr19Ni9NbN Stainless Steel Coil & Plate | GB/T 4237 06Cr19Ni9NbN(347H) Stainless Steel Sheet Manufacturer & Exporter – Gangsteel

Gangsteel is a specialized manufacturer and global exporter of GB/T 4237 06Cr19Ni9NbN stainless steel hot-rolled coils, plates, and wide heavy plates. Internationally recognized as Grade 347H (high-carbon stabilized variant of 347), 06Cr19Ni9NbN is a niobium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel designed for superior high-temperature strength, exceptional resistance to intergranular corrosion, and excellent performance in prolonged elevated-temperature service (up to 800–900°C). The addition of niobium (Nb ≥ 10 × C) binds carbon, preventing chromium carbide precipitation and sensitization in the heat-affected zone during welding or long-term heat exposure.

With 18–20% Cr, 9–13% Ni, and controlled high carbon (0.04–0.10%), 347H provides better creep and rupture strength than standard 304/321 at temperatures above 500°C, making it the preferred material for high-temperature welded structures where both corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical.

Produced under GB/T 4237-2015 (Stainless Steel Hot-Rolled Sheets and Strips), Gangsteel supplies 06Cr19Ni9NbN in thicknesses from 2 mm to 500 mm and widths up to 4200 mm — one of the widest hot-rolling capabilities available worldwide. Our products are delivered in standard hot-rolled finishes No.1 (annealed & pickled) and 2D (annealed & pickled dull) and are exported globally to petrochemical, power generation, furnace construction, heat exchanger, boiler, and high-temperature piping industries.

Key Insight: 06Cr19Ni9NbN (347H) provides superior creep and rupture strength at 500–900°C compared to 347 or 321 due to higher carbon content.

Manufacturing Process: Hot Rolled at Gangsteel

Gangsteel's hot-rolling process for 06Cr19Ni9NbN includes:

  1. Electric arc furnace + AOD refining → precise Nb/C control
  2. Continuous casting into wide slabs
  3. Reheating to 1150–1250°C
  4. Hot rolling on wide heavy-plate mills (up to 4200 mm width)
  5. Controlled cooling, leveling, and descaling
  6. Solution annealing + pickling for No.1 finish or shot blasting + pickling for 2D finish
  7. Edge trimming, coil splitting, or cut-to-length

Thickness range: 2 mm – 500 mm Width range: up to 4200 mm Length: up to 18 m (plate) or coil form

Finishes: No.1 (annealed & pickled), 2D (annealed & pickled dull)

Available Forms, Sizes, and Specifications

  • Hot-rolled coils: 2.0–25.0 mm thick, up to 4200 mm wide
  • Hot-rolled plates: 2.0–500 mm thick, up to 4200 mm wide × 18 m long
  • Cut-to-size plates, slit coils, custom blanks

All compliant with GB/T 4237-2015; optional third-party certification (SGS, TUV, BV).

Key Applications of 06Cr19Ni9NbN (347H) Hot-Rolled Products

  • High-temperature furnace tubes and radiant tubes
  • Petrochemical reformers, crackers, and pyrolysis coils
  • Boiler superheater and reheater tubes
  • Heat exchanger tubes and pressure vessel components
  • Exhaust manifolds and high-temp piping
  • Cement kiln preheaters and calciners

Advantages of Choosing 06Cr19Ni9NbN (347H)

  • Excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion at 425–900°C
  • Superior high-temperature creep and rupture strength
  • Good oxidation and carburization resistance
  • Weldable without post-weld annealing in most cases
  • Good formability and fabricability
  • Cost-effective stabilized grade for high-temp service
  • Wide global acceptance in petrochemical and power industries

Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance

Forms stable Cr oxide scale; resists oxidation, carburization, and sulfidation in oxidizing atmospheres up to 900°C. Nb stabilization prevents intergranular corrosion in sensitized range. Good in mild corrosives; not for severe chlorides (use 316/317).

Weldability and Fabrication

Good weldability with TIG/MIG; Nb stabilization eliminates sensitization. Use ER347 or ER347H fillers. High ductility supports forming; annealing may be needed post-weld for critical uses.

FAQ

Q1: What is the main difference between 347H (06Cr19Ni9NbN) and standard 347?

A: 347H has higher carbon (0.04–0.10%) for improved high-temperature creep and rupture strength, while 347 has lower carbon (≤0.08%) for better weldability in general use. 347H is preferred for prolonged high-temp service.

Q2: Can 06Cr19Ni9NbN be used in chloride-containing environments?

A: Not recommended for long-term exposure to chlorides (pitting risk). Use 316L, 317L, or 444 for better chloride resistance.

Q3: What finishes are available under GB/T 4237 for hot-rolled 347H?

A: Standard finishes are No.1 (annealed & pickled) and 2D (annealed & pickled dull). No.1 is most common for further processing.

Q4: What is the maximum width and thickness Gangsteel can produce for 06Cr19Ni9NbN?

A: Up to 4200 mm wide and 500 mm thick in hot-rolled plates; coils typically 2–25 mm thick.

Q5: Is 347H weldable? What filler should be used?

A: Yes, good weldability. Use ER347 or ER347H fillers to match high-temperature properties.

Q6: Does Gangsteel offer third-party inspection for GB/T 4237 347H material?

A: Yes — SGS, TUV, BV, or customer-nominated agencies are welcome at any stage.

Q7: What is the lead time for hot-rolled 06Cr19Ni9NbN coils or plates?

A: Standard sizes from stock: 7–15 days. Custom wide/heavy plates: 25–45 days depending on thickness and quantity.

Q8: Can Gangsteel provide 347H with BA or 2B finish?

A: Hot-rolled material is No.1 or 2D. For BA or 2B, we supply cold-rolled versions under GB/T 3280.
