EN 1.4539 / UNS N08904 / 904L

• Applications

  AISI 904L is a high alloy low carbon austenitic stainless steel with good general corrosion resistance. EN 1.4539 is fully austenitic but is less sensitive to precipitation of sigma phase than conventional austenitic grades with high molybdenum content.

  Areas of applications are process equipment in chemical industry, petrochemical industry, bleaching equipment in the pulp and paper industry, flue gas cleaning, desalination, seawater handling, hydrometallurgy, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and heat exchangers.

  Heat Treatment – Solution annealing at 1050°C – 1150°C followed by rapid cooling in air or water.

  Weldability – Very good. Low heat input recommended.
