904l steel price per kg in 2025

While 904L stainless steel costs more than standard grades like 316L, it offers unmatched corrosion resistance in demanding environments. By understanding the price per kg in 2025, product forms, and how to calculate weight, you can make a more informed and cost-effective purchasing decision.

 

What Is sae 904l stainless steel?

904L, also known as EN 1.4539 or UNS N08904, is a high-alloy, austenitic stainless steel containing high levels of nickel (24–26%), molybdenum (4–5%), and copper (1.2–2%). It was designed for excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments like sulfuric acid, chloride-rich systems, and marine conditions.

 

What factors will affect the price of 904L steel in 2025?

The pricing of 904L steel is affected by a variety of market and technical factors: nickel price fluctuations (nickel accounts for more than 25% of 904L steel), the availability of molybdenum and copper, minimum order quantities and volume discounts, surface finish and dimensional tolerances, certification requirements (e.g. PED, NACE, 3.2, etc.).

 

💰 904L Steel Price per kg in 2025

As of 2025, the global average price per kilogram of 904L stainless steel typically ranges between:

Product Form	Approx. Price (USD/kg)
904L Plate / Sheet	$6.50 – $9.00
904L Seamless Pipe	$9.00 – $12.00
904L Welded Pipe	$7.00 – $10.00
904L Round Bar	$8.00 – $11.00

📌 Note: Prices fluctuate based on nickel market trends, order volume, processing (e.g. BA or No.1 finish), and delivery terms (FOB/CIF).

 

What is 904L Stainless Steel Density?

The density of 904L is 8.00 g/cm³ (or 8000 kg/m³)

📌 Note:This value is essential for calculating theoretical weight and estimating cost per piece or per meter.

 

 

How to Calculate 904L Steel Weight?

To estimate the weight of 904L stainless steel products, use the following general formulas:

For Plate/Sheet

Weight (kg) = Length (mm) × Width (mm) × Thickness (mm) × 8.00 × 10⁻⁶

For Round Bar

Weight (kg/m) = (π × Diameter² / 4) × 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ × 1000 ≈ (D² × 6.28) / 1000

 

For Pipe

Weight (kg/m) = [Outer Dia - Wall Thickness] × Wall Thickness × 0.02466
