347 Stainless Steel per AMS 5680
AMS 5680 outlines a specification for welding wire made of 347 stainless steel within the corrosion and heat-resistant group but in the solution heat-treated condition. This specification is for applications requiring excellent weldability, oxidation resistance, and strength at high temperatures.
Applications of AMS 5680
- Aerospace and jet engine exhaust systems
- Aircraft manifolds and collector rings
- Weld repair of 304, 321, and 347 stainless steels
- Chemical refinery and marine heat exchangers
- High-temperature furnace components
AMS 5680 welding wire is commonly used in GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) processes for producing high-strength, oxidation-resistant welds with stable microstructures.
What is 347 Stainless Steel ?
347 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel stabilized by additions of columbium (plus tantalum) and has slightly improved corrosion resistance over type 321 stainless steel in strongly oxidizing environments. It is preferable for aqueous and low-temperature environments due to its good resistance to intergranular attack. Both 347 and 321 offer good resistance to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking, encountered in oil refineries.
