Stainless Steel Alloy 904L Sheet | SS Alloy 904L Sheet | SS Alloy 904L Sheet Manufacturer | SS Alloy 904L Sheet Exporter
Grade 904L stainless steel sheet is a non-stabilized austenitic stainless steel with low carbon content. This high alloy stainless steel is added with copper to improve its resistance to strong reducing acids, such as sulphuric acid. The steel is also resistant to stress corrosion cracking and crevice corrosion. Grade 904L sheet is non-magnetic, and offers excellent formability, toughness and weldability.
Grade 904L sheet contains high amounts of expensive ingredients, such as molybdenum and nickel. Today, most of the applications that employ grade 904L bar are replaced by low-cost duplex stainless steel 2205. The following sections describe the properties of flat rolled products in ASTM B625. The specifications may not be identical for other products such as bar, tube and pipe.
Applications
- Aerospace – piston engine manifolds
- Chemical Processing
- Expansion Joints
- Food Processing – equipment and storage
- Petroleum Refining – polythionic acid service
- Waste Treatment – thermal oxidizers
Benefits
- Higher creep stress and rupture properties when compared with 304
- Ideal for high temperature service
- Overcomes sensitization and intergranular corrosion concerns
- Can be used in elevated temperature applications for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications
- Excellent mechanical properties
