ER347 Filler Wire

ER347 filler wire is a niobium-stabilized stainless steel consumable. It welds Type 347, 321 and other compatible grades and resists intergranular corrosion after the weld is exposed to high temperatures. Most orders come in alongside our bars and fasteners line, especially on process piping jobs.

ER347 Filler Wire Datasheet

ER347 filler wire ships in TIG rod and MIG wire form, built for stainless grades that need niobium stabilization against intergranular corrosion. Full chemical limits, mechanical data, and packaging details are in the datasheet below.

What is ER347 Filler Wire?

ER347 is a niobium-stabilized filler metal. Niobium binds with carbon before it can react with chromium, helping prevent chromium-depleted zones and reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion. That matters most after stress-relief heat treatment or long service at elevated temperature, just as it does with Type 347 base metal.

ER347 Filler Wire Specifications

ER347 filler wire falls under AWS A5.9 / ASME SFA-5.9. TIG rod ships as straight cut lengths. MIG wire comes on spools or coils. Diameters depend on what you’re welding and how. We often supply it with stainless steel flanges on the same piping order. Check sizes and packaging against the datasheet before you place the order, since stock varies by batch.

ER347 filler wire is a niobium-stabilized stainless steel welding material engineered for TIG and MIG processes. It provides exceptional heat and corrosion resistance across various structural applications.

ER347 Filler Wire Chemical Composition and Technical Data

These figures serve as general estimates rather than fixed guarantees, as chemical and mechanical properties can vary slightly between manufacturing batches. The composition table follows AWS A5.9 limits. The mechanical figures are typical weld metal results, not a specified minimum under the standard.

ER347 Filler Wire Chemical Composition

Element Symbol Composition (%)
Carbon C 0.08 max
Chromium Cr 19.00 to 21.50
Nickel Ni 9.00 to 11.00
Manganese Mn 1.00 to 2.50
Silicon Si 0.90 max
Niobium (+ Tantalum) Nb 10xC min, 1.00 max
Phosphorus P 0.03 max
Sulfur S 0.03 max

These are AWS A5.9 limits. Check the mill test report for the actual batch before signing off on a weld procedure.

Property Value
Tensile Strength 80,000 psi (550 MPa), typical as-welded
Yield Strength 55,000 psi (380 MPa), typical as-welded
Elongation 35%, typical over a 2-inch gauge length

Typical as-welded numbers are reported by manufacturers rather than mandated by AWS A5.9. The standard covers composition, not mechanical minimums here. Ask for the test report if the project needs one on record.

ER347 TIG Rod and MIG Welding Wire

ER347 TIG rod comes in straight lengths, usually 36 inches, for manual TIG where the welder feeds it by hand. Some buyers look for ER347 filler rod instead, same product, different name. ER347 welding wire for MIG sits on a spool and feeds continuously, so it suits higher deposition and longer runs. Which one you need comes down to thickness, access, and how much welding there is to do. TIG holds the puddle better on thin-walled pipe. MIG moves faster once sections get thicker.

ER347 Filler Wire Applications

  • Welding Type 347 and 321 piping in petrochemical and refinery plants
  • Pressure vessel and heat exchanger fabrication, where post-weld heat treatment is part of the job
  • Exhaust systems and furnace parts that sit at high temperatures for long periods
  • Power generation parts that need a stabilized, corrosion-resistant weld
  • Food and chemical handling equipment, where weld corrosion isn’t an option
  • Repair welding on niobium-stabilized base metal

Manufacturing Process of ER347 Filler Wire

  • Checking the chromium-nickel-niobium mix of the raw material
  • Melting and refining in an electric arc or vacuum induction furnace
  • Hot working into rod or wire rod, by rolling or extrusion
  • Cold drawing down to final diameter and finish
  • Straightening and cutting for TIG rod, or spooling for MIG wire
  • Cleaning, inspection, and packing before it goes out

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ER347 filler wire used for?

It welds Type 347 and related stabilized grades where the weld will see sustained temperatures above 450C, think petrochemical piping and pressure vessels. Some buyers call it ER347 welding rod instead, same product.

TIG rod is cut to length, fed by hand. MIG wire is on a spool, fed continuously. Pick based on process, joint thickness, and how much you’re welding.

Diameters depend on the product form and the manufacturer’s batch. Check the datasheet or ask our team for current stock before ordering.

Type 347 and 321 mainly. Other niobium- or titanium-stabilized grades with a similar chromium-nickel base can work too, worth a quick suitability check first.

AWS A5.9, also referenced as ASME SFA-5.9. It covers composition, not mechanical testing for bare filler wire.
