What is 904L?
904L is a super-austenitic with roughly 25% nickel, 20% chromium, 4.5% molybdenum and a deliberate copper addition that specifically targets resistance to sulphuric and phosphoric acid. The high nickel content also raises resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking well above the 300 series. It is expensive, and in many chloride duties a duplex grade delivers comparable resistance at lower cost and higher strength.
Designations
Stainless Steel 904L is also designated UNS N08904, EN 1.4539, AISI 904L, JIS SUS890L, GB S39042 and Werkstoff X1NiCrMoCu25-20-5. Quote the designation your specification uses and we will supply to it.
Why choose 904L welded Tubes
Resists dilute sulphuric and phosphoric acid where 316L fails, High resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, Fully austenitic, so tough down to cryogenic temperatures and Excellent crevice corrosion resistance. It is non-magnetic, with good weldability and difficult machinability, and is used in continuous service in air up to about 400 °C.
Limitations to specify around
Four to five times the cost of 304, Low mechanical strength relative to duplex at similar PREN, Difficult to machine — requires rigid setup and sharp tooling and Long lead times outside held stock. We state these plainly so the grade is chosen for the right service.
