Stainless Steel 904L Technical details By yaang.com

Stainless Steel 904L is a low carbon high alloy austenitic stainless steel, with an chromium, nickel, molybdenum and copper content,  which is widely used in applications where the corrosion properties of  Stainless Steel 316L & Stainless Steel 317L are not adequate. although originally develop for greatly improved resistance to strong reducing acids, particularly sulphuric acid. It also has an very high resistance to a wide range of  environments. This feature has been verified that it is very successful after many years of practical applications, which has results that Stainless Steel 904L has been standardized in many countries.

Characteristics:
  • The high Mo and the addition of copper to this grade gives it greatly improved resistance to strong reducing acids, particularly aspheric acid
  • It is highly resistant to chloride attack, both pitting crevice corrosion and stress corrosion crashing
  • Good machine ability and weld ability
  • The austenitic structure also gives this grade excellent  toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures 
Market applications:
  • Offshore, Oil and gas equipment
  • Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings
  • Chemical industry
  • Seawater cooling equipment
  • Stainless Steel Flanges
  • Aircraft piston engine manifolds and exhaust stacks
  • Stainless Steel Pipes
  • Control and instrumentation
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Pulp and paper industry
