904L
904L super austenitic stainless steel is a low-carbon, high-nickel, molybdenum austenitic stainless acid-resistant steel. It is a proprietary material imported from French H·S Company.
It has good activation-passivation transition ability and excellent corrosion resistance. It has excellent properties in non-oxidizing acids such as sulfuric acid, acetic acid, formic acid and phosphoric acid. Very good corrosion resistance, good resistance to pitting corrosion in neutral chlorine containing media, and good resistance to crevice corrosion and stress corrosion. Corrosion performance.
It is suitable for sulfuric acid of various concentrations below 70°C, and can withstand acetic acid of any concentration and temperature under normal pressure, as well as the mixture of formic acid and acetic acid. Corrosion resistance in acids is also very good.
