What are Stainless Steel 904L Bolts?

Stainless Steel 904L Bolts are used in a wide range of industries. The fastener is known for its high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It is a highly alloyed stainless steel characterized by chromium, nitrogen, carbon and molybdenum. In addition, copper is present in the alloy, which provides additional resistance to sulfuric acid.

Alloy 904L is a non-stabilized austenitic stainless steel. It has a low carbon content, which gives the alloy excellent weldability. Besides this, the nickel content helps to reduce stress corrosion cracking. This makes it an ideal material for use in industries that require moderate to excellent corrosion resistance.

The low carbon content of the alloy also allows it to be welded by standard processes. 

Applications of Stainless Steel 904L Bolts

This is particularly beneficial for welded structures, enhancing the weld’s strength and cleanliness. As well it is generally fused with no filler metal. However, the alloy is less machinable than 410 stainless steel.

Stainless Steel 904L is an excellent alternative to most conventional stainless steels.

 Although it is highly alloyed, 410 stainless steel is more malleable than it is, which means that it requires more powerful processing equipment. Also, the corrosion resistance of 904L is better than that of 410 stainless steel. Therefore, this type of alloy is less suited to reductive environments, where it can be exposed to abrasives and other materials that cause surface defects. A high molybdenum content helps to protect the alloy from crevice corrosion.

Uses and Applications of Stainless Steel 904L Bolts

These bolts are typically used in various industrial settings, including the pulp and paper industry, chemical processing, food processing, textile finishing, and biomedical implants. Moreover, they are used in architectural accents, water, and fire features.

There are several different SS 904L bolts on the market, with many being able to meet ISO, ASME, and JIS standards. You can find a wide selection of these stainless steel bolts in the inventory of Torq Bolt. Apart from these, you can also find heavy hex bolts, T-Head bolts, anchor bolts, J Bolts, and Eye Bolts.
