Material Selection Decision Card & Quick Selection Guide — SS 904L Austenitic Stainless Steel Strip

☑ Dilute Sulfuric Acid / Phosphoric Acid Media
(Concentration <10%, Temperature <80°C)

☑ High-Temperature Concentrated Saltwater
(Chloride Ions + High Temperature)

☑ 316L Shows Frequent Pitting / Crevice Corrosion in Acidic Media

☑ Pulp Bleaching, Pharmaceutical Heat Exchangers, Chemical Pickling

Right Side

☑ High Strength + Weight Reduction Design
(Choose 2205)

☑ General Atmosphere / Food / Decoration
(Choose 304 or 316L)

☑ Extremely High-Temperature & High-Chloride Environments
(Choose 254 SMO or Nickel-Based Alloys)

What are the common misconceptions about 904L stainless steel strip?

 

Misconception 1:

Incompatible

Misconception 2:

For ordinary atmospheric environments, using 904L is unnecessary.
304 is sufficient, so using 904L only increases costs.

Misconception 3:

Non-Compliant Use in Food & Kitchen Applications,
Copper content is restricted under certain food-contact standards.

Misconception 4:

Costly and potentially non-compliant

Misconception 1:

Overkill for Architectural Decoration

Misconception 2:

Extremely expensive with little cost-effectiveness.
304 or 316L would be more appropriate.

Misconception 3:

Exceeding the Limits in Extreme Service Conditions,
High Chloride + High Temperature + High Pressure

Misconception 4:

904L also has its limits — consider 254 SMO for more severe conditions.
