what would you use 347 stainless rods on?

[penfold]

I was looking for some stainless rods on fleabay and saw some 347 rods listed; google hasn't helped beyond confirming that they are compatible with the common weldable SS from 304 upwards. Is there anything special about them, or hazardous about their use?

It's a 'stabilised' flavour like 321 stainless. TechnicAl mentions 'em both here... http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/stainless.htm. Googling something like '347 intergranular corrosion' will get more in depth stuff

dont buy them for everyday use........the niobium makes the slag stick like **** to a blanket
