Heat treatment: Annealing is carried out within the temperature range of 1075- 1125℃, followed by rapid cooling.
Feature:
904L is a highly alloyed austenitic stainless steel with a very low carbon content. This alloy is designed for environments with harsh corrosive conditions. Originally, this alloy was developed to resist corrosion in dilute sulfuric acid. This feature has been verified to be very successful through years of practical application. Nowadays, 904L has been standardized in many countries and has been approved for use in the manufacture of pressure vessels. Like other commonly used CrNi austenitic steels, 904L alloy has excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, high resistance to stress corrosion cracking, good resistance to intergranular corrosion, and good machinability and weldability.
Since the carbon content of 904L is very low (up to 0.020%), no carbides will precipitate during general heat treatment and welding. This eliminates the risk of intergranular corrosion that occurs after general heat treatment and welding. Due to its high content of chromium, nickel and molybdenum, and the addition of copper, 904L can be passivated even in reducing environments such as sulfuric acid and formic acid. The high nickel content makes it have a relatively low corrosion rate even in the active state. In pure sulfuric acid within the concentration range of 0 to 98%, the operating temperature of 904L can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius. In pure phosphoric acid with a concentration range of 0 to 85%, its corrosion resistance is very good. In industrial phosphoric acid produced by the wet process, impurities have a strong influence on the anti-corrosion performance. Among all kinds of phosphoric acids, 904L has better corrosion resistance than ordinary stainless steel. In highly oxidizing nitric acid, 904L has a lower corrosion resistance compared to highly alloyed steel grades without molybdenum. In hydrochloric acid, the use of 904L is limited to a lower concentration range of 1-2%. The corrosion resistance of 904L is better than that of conventional stainless steel. 904L steel has a very high resistance to pitting corrosion. Its resistance to crevice corrosion is also very good in chloride solutions. The high nickel content of 904L reduces the corrosion rate in pits and crevices. Ordinary austenitic stainless steel may be sensitive to stress corrosion in a chloride-rich environment when the temperature is above 60 degrees Celsius. This sensitization can be reduced by increasing the nickel content of stainless steel. Due to its high nickel content, 904L has a very high resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride solutions, concentrated hydroxide solutions and environments rich in hydrogen sulfide.
Application
904L alloy is a versatile material that can be applied in many industrial fields:
1. Petroleum and petrochemical equipment, such as reactors in petrochemical equipment, etc.
2. Storage and transportation equipment for sulfuric acid, such as heat exchangers, etc.
3. The flue gas desulfurization device in power plants is mainly used in the following parts: the tower body of the absorption tower, flue ducts, baffle plates, internal components, spray systems, etc.
4. Scrubbers and fans in the organic acid treatment system.

Characteristics
254 SMO(00Cr20Ni18Mo6CuN,S31254) is an austenitic stainless steel. Due to its high molybdenum content, it has extremely high resistance to pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion. This grade of stainless steel is developed and researched for use in environments containing halides, such as seawater. 254SMO also has good resistance to uniform corrosion. Especially in acids containing halides, this steel is superior to ordinary stainless steel.
Its carbon content is less than 0.03%, so it is called pure austenitic stainless steel (less than 0.01% is also called super austenitic stainless steel).
Super stainless steel and nickel-based alloys are both special types of stainless steel. Firstly, they differ from ordinary stainless steel in chemical composition. They refer to high-alloy stainless steel containing high nickel, high chromium and high molybdenum. Among them, the more well-known one is the steel containing 6%Mo (254SMo). This type of steel has excellent resistance to local corrosion. Under conditions of seawater, aeration, presence of crevices, and low-speed erosion, it has good resistance to pitting corrosion (PI≥40) and relatively good resistance to stress corrosion. It is a substitute material for nickel-based alloys and titanium alloys. Secondly, in terms of high-temperature resistance or corrosion resistance, it has even more outstanding high-temperature resistance or corrosion resistance, which is irreplaceable by 304 stainless steel. In addition, from the classification of stainless steel, the metallographic structure of special stainless steel is a stable austenitic metallographic structure.
As this special stainless steel is a highly alloyed material, its manufacturing process is rather complex. Generally, people can only rely on traditional techniques to produce this special stainless steel, such as casting, forging, rolling, etc.
Corrosion resistance: This is a highly corrosion-resistant super austenitic stainless steel, developed for environments with halides and acids, and is widely used in harsh working conditions such as high-concentration chloride ion media and seawater. In various industrial Settings with acidic media, especially in acids containing halides, 254SMO is far superior to other stainless steels. In some cases, it can rival Hastelloy and titanium. Its low carbon content and high molybdenum content endow it with excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as outstanding resistance to intergranular corrosion. It is a cost-effective stainless steel and is widely used in the fields of chemical engineering, desulfurization and environmental protection both at home and abroad.
High temperature resistance
1. A large number of on-site experiments and extensive usage experience have shown that even at slightly higher temperatures, 254SMO has high resistance to crevice corrosion in seawater, and only a few types of stainless steel have this performance.
2. The corrosion resistance of 254SMO in acidic solutions and oxidative halide solutions required for paper bleaching production is comparable to that of nickel based alloys and titanium alloys, which have the strongest corrosion resistance.
3. Due to its high nitrogen content, 254SMO has higher mechanical strength than other types of austenitic stainless steels. In addition, 254SMO also has high ductility, impact strength, and good weldability.
4. The high molybdenum content of 254SMO enables it to have a higher oxidation rate during annealing, resulting in a rougher surface than ordinary stainless steel after pickling. But this has no adverse effect on the corrosion resistance of the steel.
Application field
1. Ocean: Marine structures in sea areas, seawater desalination, Marine aquaculture, seawater heat exchange, etc.
2. Environmental protection field: Flue gas desulfurization devices for thermal power generation, wastewater treatment, etc.
3. Energy sector: atomic power generation, comprehensive utilization of coal, tidal power generation, etc.
4. Petrochemical field: oil refining, chemical and chemical equipment, etc.
5. Food industry: salt production, soy sauce brewing, etc.

Characteristics
TP321/TP321H is a Ni-Cr-Mo type austenitic stainless steel. Its properties are very similar to those of TP304. However, due to the addition of metallic titanium, it has better resistance to intergranular corrosion and high-temperature strength. The addition of metallic titanium has effectively controlled the formation of chromium carbide.
The excellent high-temperature Stress Rupture performance and high-temperature Creep Resistance performance of TP321/TP321H are superior to those of TP304 in terms of stress mechanical properties.
Application
