Products Description
Alloy 904L is a low carbon, high alloy austenitic stainless steel designed for use in severe corrosive conditions. There is not much difference in strength or hardness between 904L and 316L. Its higher content of chromium, nickel and small amounts of copper provide better corrosion and wear resistance.

stainless steel 904l vs 316l


The difference between 904L stainless steel and 316L stainless steel:
1. Different copper contents: 904L stainless steel contains a certain amount of copper, but 316L stainless steel does not contain copper.
2. Different corrosion resistance and wear resistance: 904L stainless steel has stronger corrosion resistance and wear resistance than 316L stainless steel.
3. Different weights: 904L stainless steel contains higher amounts of molybdenum, nickel, and copper than 316L stainless steel, and the specific gravity of these three metals is greater than that of iron. Therefore, in terms of weight, 904L stainless steel of the same volume will be much heavier than 316L stainless steel.
4. They have different uses:
Uses of 904l stainless steel: widely used in petroleum and petrochemical equipment, such as reactors in petrochemical equipment; sulfuric acid storage and transportation equipment, such as heat exchangers; power plant flue gas desulfurization equipment, the main parts used are: absorption tower Tower body, flue, door panel, internal parts, sprinkler system, etc.
Uses of 316l stainless steel: 316l stainless steel is used in seawater treatment equipment, seawater heat exchangers, paper industry equipment, sulfuric acid and nitric acid equipment, sulfuric acid, pharmaceutical industry and other chemical equipment, pressure vessels, and food equipment.
