thread inside a hollow cylinder
(OP)
Which is the best thread style and type I can cut on a 0.02 thick 347 stainless hollow cylinder on the inside?
I want an extremely tight joint.
Thanks!!

What is the I/D of the tube?
What will this "thread" be mating to?
What forces will the connection be subjected to?
Can you quantify "extremely tight"?
Basically ... what are you trying to do?
RE: thread inside a hollow cylinder
You'd theoretically be able to come up with a 'special' UNS that would do it for any given diameter but practically this may not be appropriate.
You can play games on this link for days but it may not be a practical solution.

You say cut, I assume rolling something like a bottle thread isn't an option then.
KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

You're going to be limited as to how tight you can make any joint with walls that thin, no matter what the thread. This sounds like an application for an o-ring gland or a brazed joint.

don't know how tight that'd be, and if the app is "nuke", don't think i'd like to think about it ...
if this is a permanent joint, bonding is a good choice
RE: thread inside a hollow cylinder
Is this a one-off item, or production?
Does the joint have to disassembled at a later date?
How much pressure is involved?
A "tight joint" for liquid or gas?
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
