What is Stainless Steel 904L

• Grade 904L stainless steel is austenitic
  stainless steel that lacks stabilizing elements
  and contains low carbon content.
• This high-alloy steel incorporates copper to
  elevate its resistance against strong reducing
  acids, including sulphuric acid.
• However, grade 904L contains costly components
  such as nickel and molybdenum.
• Consequently, grade 904L is gradually being
  substituted by cost-efficient duplex stainless
  steel 2205 in numerous applications.
