The corrosion resistance of grade 904L is intermediate between super austenitic grades, with 6% molybdenum content, and standard 316L austenitic grades. Grade 904L is less resistant to nitric acid than grades 304L and 310L, which are free of molybdenum. This steel grade needs to be solution treated following cold working, to achieve maximum stress corrosion cracking resistance under critical environments.

Grade 904L stainless steels have excellent resistance to warm seawater and chloride attack. The high resistance of grade 904L against stress corrosion cracking is due to the presence of high amounts of nickel in its composition. Moreover, the addition of copper to these grades develops resistance to sulphuric acid and other reducing agents in both aggressive and mild conditions.
904L stainless steel Applications:
904L stainless steel pipe, fittings and flanges are used in the chemical industry to process corrosive chemicals such as: Acetic acid, Acetylene, Acrylates, Acrylonitrile, Aluminum sulfate, Ammonium phosphate, Ammonium sulfate, Battery acid, Benzene, Butyl acetate, Caprolactum, Cellophane, Citric acid, Nitrophosphate, Oxalic acid, Superphosphate, Tall oil, Tartaric acid, Uranium oxide and Zinc sulfate.
904L steel Welding:
Welding of grade 904L stainless steels can be performed using all conventional methods. This grade does not require pre-heat and post-weld heat treatments. Grade 904L can be subjected to hot cracking in constrained weldment. Grade 904L electrodes and rods are used for welding grade 904L steels according to AS 1554.6.
