OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade ER347 Stainless Steel TIG Rods

The Exocor ER347 TIG Rod (5/32" diameter) is a premium stainless steel filler metal designed for critical industrial applications requiring high resistance to intergranular corrosion. Packaged in a durable 10lb tube, this rod is formulated with Niobium (Columbium) as a stabilizing element. This addition is crucial for welding base metals of similar composition, specifically ASTM 347 and 321 stainless steels, which are often used in environments subject to severe corrosion and high temperatures.

In industrial fabrication, maintaining the integrity of the weld zone against carbide precipitation is essential. The ER347 classification ensures that the weld metal retains its corrosion resistance even after exposure to temperatures between 800°F and 1500°F. This makes it a staple inventory item for MRO operations servicing chemical processing plants, refineries, and food processing facilities where equipment longevity and safety are paramount. The 5/32" diameter allows for higher deposition rates on thicker sections of material, improving productivity in heavy fabrication tasks.

Exocor is known for consistent chemistry and surface cleanliness. These TIG rods are manufactured to meet strict AWS A5.9 standards, ensuring reliable mechanical properties and X-ray quality welds. For procurement managers and facility engineers, choosing Exocor ER347 means reducing the risk of weld failure in high-stress, high-temperature piping and vessel systems.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Corrosion Resistance: Niobium content prevents chromium carbide precipitation.
  • High-Temperature Performance: Excellent creep strength and scaling resistance.
  • Compliance: Meets AWS A5.9 specifications for critical code work.

FAQ

ER347 contains Niobium (Columbium) as a stabilizer, which prevents intergranular corrosion (carbide precipitation) at high temperatures. ER308L is for standard 304/304L stainless and does not have this stabilizer.

Yes, ER347 can be used to weld 304 stainless steel, but it is generally overkill unless the application involves high temperatures where stabilization is required. ER308L is the standard choice for 304.

100% Argon is the standard shielding gas for TIG welding with ER347 rods.

It is specifically designed for welding ASTM 347 and 321 stainless steels, but can also be used for 304 and 302 grades.

The 5/32" diameter is approximately equivalent to 4.0mm.

Niobium reacts with carbon to form stable carbides, preventing the carbon from reacting with chromium. This preserves the chromium content for corrosion resistance, preventing 'weld decay'.

Yes, ER347 is excellent for high-temperature service and offers good creep strength.

Use DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) for TIG welding with this stainless rod.
