904L stainless steel and 304 which is better

904L stainless steel is more expensive and corrosion resistant than 304, mainly because of the higher content of nickel and chromium

904L stainless steel parameters are as follows-

Main chemical composition:

20cr-24ni-4.3mo-1.5cu

Physical and mechanical properties:

Density: 8.24g/cm3. tensile strength: σb≥520mpa. elongation: δ≥35%.

Chemical composition:

Carbon c:≤0.02

Manganese mn:≤2.00

Silicon si:≤1.00

Chromium cr:19.0~23.0

Nickel ni:23.0~28.0

Phosphorus p:≤0.045

Sulfur s:≤ 0.035

Molybdenum mo: 4.0~5.0

Copper cu: 1.0~2.0

Use, application scope, application areas are:

Petroleum, petrochemical equipment, such as petrochemical equipment, such as the reactor.

Sulfuric acid storage and transportation equipment, such as heat exchangers.

Power plant flue gas desulfurization device, the main use of parts are: the tower of the absorption tower, flue, stall door plate, inner parts, spray system, etc..

Scrubbers and fans in organic acid treatment system.

Sea water treatment device, sea water heat exchanger, paper industry equipment, sulfuric acid, nitric acid equipment, acid production, pharmaceutical industry and other chemical equipment, pressure vessels, food equipment.

Pharmaceutical plants:centrifuges, reactors, and so on.

Plant food: soy sauce tanks, cooking wine, salt tanks, equipment and dressings.

For dilute sulfuric acid strong corrosive medium the alloy is the matching steel.

304 is a general-purpose stainless steel, which is widely used in the production of equipment and machine parts requiring a good combination of properties (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to maintain the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 18% chromium, more than 8% nickel content. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard.
