☑ 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
☑ 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)
Misconception 1：
Incompatible
Misconception 2：
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.
