Highly corrosion-resistant steel
904L is a highly corrosion-resistant type of austenitic steel with a high resistance to a large variety of organic and inorganic acids. It has a high resistance to pitting and stress corrosion.
Special stainless steel
This quality may be used also for chloride-containing media, seawater as well as for sulphuric and phosphoric acid solutions. 904L tends to hot cracking, but on the other hand the material is very well weldable using all procedures.
