The Feature of Alloy 904L
At present, with the continuous development of the industry, the requirements for various raw materials are getting higher and higher. Many new materials appear in our vision, such as 904L stainless steel plate, which is a new type of stainless steel material. Alloy 904L (UNS N08904) is a super austenitic stainless steel designed for medium to high corrosion resistance in a wide range of process environments. The combination of high chromium and high nickel content, plus the addition of molybdenum and copper, ensures good corrosion resistance.
What are the advantages of 904L stainless steel plate? First of all, we need to know that the research and development of 904L stainless steel plate is aimed at some areas prone to corrosion, so the main advantage is its corrosion resistance, which is by no means comparable to ordinary stainless steel plate. 904L stainless steel plate is mainly made of a special corrosion-resistant alloy, mainly because the carbon content of this kind of alloy is very low, which is several times lower than other models, so the probability of corrosion is greatly reduced. As we all know, when stainless steel plate is used in some areas with bad environment, the biggest worry is that it will be corroded. Some of them will be corroded if they can't persist for a long time, which is a great waste of human, material and financial resources. This is also the biggest advantage of 904L stainless steel plate.
Secondly, the advantage of 904L stainless steel plate is also reflected in the welding. Because of the low carbon content, at the same time of welding, there is no need to worry about the carbon flying out suddenly, causing some serious consequences, which undoubtedly improves the safety and efficiency in the welding process. At the same time, it is suitable for all kinds of welding processing, and has a wide range of applications, including almost all kinds of industrial fields, with a large market share
