904L is a non-stabilised low carbon high alloy austenitic stainless steel. The addition of copper to this grade gives it greatly improved resistance to strong reducing acids, particularly sulphuric acid. It is also highly resistant to chloride attack – both pitting / crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. This grade is non-magnetic in all conditions and has excellent weldability and formability. The austenitic structure also gives this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. 904L does have very substantial contents of the high cost ingredients nickel and molybdenum. Many of the applications in which this grade has previously performed well can now be fulfilled at lower cost by duplex stainless steel 2205 (S31803 or S32205), so it is used less commonly than in the past.

Possible Alternative Grades
Table 5. Possible alternative grades to 904L stainless steel.
Grade | Why it might be chosen instead of 904L |
316L | A lower cost alternative, but with much lower corrosion resistance. |
6Mo | A higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion resistance is needed. |
2205 | A very similar corrosion resistance, with the 2205 having higher mechanical strength, and at a lower cost to 904L. (2205 not suitable for temperatures above 300°C.) |
Super duplex | Higher corrosion resistance is needed, together with a higher strength than 904L. |
