The Exocor ER347 Stainless Steel MIG Wire is a specialized consumable designed for the welding of stabilized chromium-nickel stainless steels, specifically types 347 and 321. This wire is distinguished by the addition of Niobium (also known as Columbium), which acts as a stabilizing agent. In high-temperature environments, standard stainless steels can suffer from chromium carbide precipitation at the grain boundaries, leading to intergranular corrosion. The Niobium in ER347 preferentially combines with carbon, preventing this depletion of chromium and ensuring the weld maintains its corrosion resistance even after exposure to temperatures between 400\u00b0C and 800\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
This 33lb (15kg) spool of .035″ (0.9mm) wire is engineered for industrial fabrication. It features Exocor’s “Executive” level quality, ensuring precision layer winding that promotes consistent wire feeding and reduces wear on MIG gun liners and contact tips. The wire composition is strictly controlled to meet AWS specifications, providing a weld deposit that matches the base metal in both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. It is an essential product for fabricators working in the petrochemical, power generation, and food processing industries where equipment is subjected to severe thermal cycling and corrosive media.<\/p>\n
Using Exocor ER347 ensures structural integrity in critical applications. The wire produces a stable arc with excellent wetting action, resulting in flat, smooth beads that require minimal post-weld grinding or cleaning. It is suitable for joining type 347 to itself, or to type 321, and can also be used for welding type 304 steels when added stability is required. The spool is designed to fit standard industrial wire feeders, making it a drop-in solution for high-volume production environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exocor\u00ae Executive ER347 is usually used for welding chromium-nickel stainless steel base metals of similar composition stabilized with either Nb or Ti. \n\nAlthough Nb is the stabilizing element usually specified in Type 347 alloys, it should be recognized that tantalum (Ta) is also present. Ta and Nb are almost equally effective in stabilizing carbon and in providing high-temperature strength. \n\nIf dilution by the base metal produces a low ferrite or fully austenitic weld metal, the crack sensitivity of the weld may increase substantially.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1967,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1760946","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-specialty-electrodes-wires","6":"product_cat-welding-wires-and-electrodes","7":"pa_brand-exocor","8":"pa_diameter-0-035-2","9":"pa_diameter-0-035","10":"pa_grade-na","11":"pa_grade-steel","12":"pa_packaging-25-33lb-spool","13":"pa_packaging-33lb-spool-2","14":"pa_packaging-description-33lb-per-spool","15":"pa_polarity-dcep","16":"pa_polarity-na","17":"pa_position-n-a","18":"pa_spool-size-33lb","19":"pa_weld-process-mig","21":"first","22":"onbackorder","23":"taxable","24":"shipping-taxable","25":"purchasable","26":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1760946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1760946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1760946"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1760946"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1760946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
