alloy 904L tubing (UNS N08904) for use in applications that require
moderate to high corrosion resistance. Alloy 904L is a low carbon
high alloy austenitic stainless steel, originally developed to
resist corrosion in dilute sulfuric acid. Because of the
combination of chromium, nickel, molybdenum and copper, this grade
has greatly improved resistance to strong reducing acids,
particularly sulfuric acid. Alloy 904L tubing is also extremely
resistant to chloride attack from both pitting/crevice corrosion
and stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 904L is non-magnetic in all
conditions, possesses amazing toughness, and has good formability
and weldability.
Because of these properties, one can find alloy 904L tube in many
applications. These range from utility scrubber assemblies to acid
and fertilizer production equipment, pulp and paper processing,
seawater cooling facilities. Used in processes containing sulfuric
or phosphoric acids, 904L displays its excellent resistance to
corrosion from those acids. The paper, gas, pharmaceutical and
chemical industries also use 904L for its resistance and use to
400-450 degrees C. Alloy 904L tubing can be welded, machined, heat
treated, annealed, hardened and cold worked for many purposes.
UNS NO8904, commonly known as 904L, is a low carbon high alloy
austenitic stainless steel which is widely used in applications
where the corrosion properties of AISI 316L and AISI 317L are not
adequate.
The addition of copper to this grade gives it corrosion resistant
properties superior to the conventional chrome nickel stainless
steels, in particular to sulphuric, phosphoric and acetic acids.
However, there is limited use with hydrochloric acids. It also has
a high resistance to pitting in chloride solutions, a high
resistance to both crevice and stress corrosion cracking. Alloy
904L performs better than other austenitic stainless steels due to
the higher alloying of nickel and molybdenum.
The grade is non-magnetic in all conditions and has excellent
formability and weldability. The austenitic structure also gives
this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic
temperatures.
The high chromium content promotes and maintains a passive film
which protects the material in many corrosive environments.904L has
a greater resistance to precipitation of ferrite and sigma phases
on cooling and welding than other stainless steels containing
molybdenum such as 316L and 317L. There is no risk of
intercrystalline corrosion on cooling or welding due to the low
carbon content. Its maximum service temperature is at 450°C.
This grade is particularly useful in control and instrumentation
tubing applications where 316 and 317L are not suitable.
904L stainless steel combines molybdenum and copper with iron for
tremendously increased resistance to reducing acids like sulphuric
acid. It stands up extremely well to chlorides in the environment
for low pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as stress corrosion
cracking.

Applications
904L stainless steel is widely used in the chemical,
pharmaceutical, oil and gas industries. Typical applications
include tanks, valves, heat exchangers, flanges and manifolds. The
addition of copper to the composition of 904L stainless steel aids
its suitability for components such as tanks and other products
used in handling sulphuric and phosphoric acid.

Corrosion Resistance
Where a level of resistance to pitting corrosion better than 316 is
required 904L stainless steel may be suitable. With its high nickel
content at 25% it offers improved resistance to chloride stress
corrosion cracking compared to other austenitic grades such as 304.
Welding
904L stainless steel can be welded using common fusion and
resistance methods. A more highly alloyed filler is recommended to
give the optimum corrosion properties in the weld. We recommend you
contact your welding consumables supplier who should provide you
full assistance and information on welding 904L stainless steel.
