Product Overview

What are SS 904L Nuts?

SS 904L nuts are high-alloy austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS N08904 bar stock conforming to ASTM A276 and ASTM A479. The alloy’s elevated chromium (19-23%), nickel (23-28%), and molybdenum (4-5%) content, combined with copper (1-2%), delivers exceptional resistance to reducing acids, chloride pitting, and crevice corrosion.

SS 904L nuts are widely specified for flange joints, pressure vessels, and process equipment in aggressive chemical, petrochemical, and marine environments where standard 316L or 317L fasteners fail. All nuts are supplied with full traceability and EN 10204 3.1 certification.

Material Chemistry

SS 904L Chemical Composition

SS 904L Nuts are manufactured from an iron-chromium-nickel alloy with chromium (16–26%), nickel (8–28%), and grade-specific molybdenum additions per ASTM and ASTM A193/A194. Chromium content governs the self-healing passive oxide film; molybdenum (2–6%) enhances chloride pitting resistance; and carbon content determines sensitization risk in welded assemblies.

Why SS 904L Alloy Composition Matters for Nuts

High Nickel & Molybdenum — Acid & Chloride Resistance
The elevated nickel and molybdenum content in SS 904L nuts provides outstanding resistance to reducing acids (sulphuric, phosphoric) and chloride-induced pitting, making them ideal for harsh chemical and marine environments.
Copper Addition — Sulphuric Acid Service
Copper enhances resistance to sulphuric acid, allowing SS 904L nuts to outperform standard austenitic grades in fertilizer, chemical, and acid processing plants.
Low Carbon — No Sensitization
With a maximum carbon content of 0.02%, SS 904L nuts are immune to intergranular corrosion after welding or high-temperature exposure, ensuring long-term joint integrity.

Industry Applications

SS 904L Nuts Applications — Industries & End Uses

SS 904L Nuts from RealBolt are specified across food and dairy, pharmaceutical, marine, chemical processing, and oil and gas where very good corrosion resistance and 620 MPa tensile strength are required for reliable fastener performance. Click each industry below for detailed application examples.
SS 904L nuts are the preferred choice for flange joints, vessel closures, and agitator assemblies in phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, and urea plants. Their copper and molybdenum content ensures long-term resistance to acid attack and chloride pitting, outperforming 316L and 317L fasteners in these environments.
Hex nuts and lock nuts for seawater intake structures, desalination plant piping, and marine heat exchangers. SS 904L’s high PREN and resistance to crevice corrosion make it ideal for submerged and splash-zone bolted joints.
Used in digesters, bleach towers, and chemical recovery systems where high chloride and acidic conditions exist. SS 904L nuts prevent joint failure due to pitting and stress corrosion cracking, ensuring reliable operation in aggressive process streams.
SS 904L nuts are specified for heat exchanger channel covers, pressure vessel manways, and offshore platform piping where resistance to sour gas, brine, and chloride stress corrosion is critical. Meets NORSOK and Shell DEP requirements for corrosion-resistant bolting.

Use molybdenum-based or PTFE anti-seize compound (such as Molykote 1000 or Loctite LB 8014) on SS 904L nuts to prevent galling and facilitate disassembly. Avoid copper-based anti-seize in chloride-rich or marine environments to prevent galvanic corrosion. Lubricated torque values should be used for assembly.
Yes – SS 904L nuts are specifically designed for resistance to seawater, brine, and reducing acids such as sulphuric and phosphoric acid. Their high nickel, molybdenum, and copper content provides superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance compared to 316L or 317L. They are widely used in desalination, marine, and chemical plant applications.
No formal MOQ for standard metric and inch sizes (M8-M36) held ex-stock – we supply from single pieces for urgent maintenance. Custom sizes or special thread forms typically require a 10 kg minimum. Price breaks are available at 50 pcs, 200 pcs, and 500 pcs.
