• Creep rupture strength is much higher than SUS347HTB due to V, N and W content.
• Excellent intergranular corrosion resistance due to lower C content.
• Good steam oxidation resistance due to fine-grained microstructure.
• Enough tharmal stability for boiler tube application.
• Better weldability at elevated temperature than TP304H due to good phase stability.
