Product Overview

What are SS 904L Threaded Rods?

SS 904L threaded rods are high-alloy austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS N08904 bar stock, conforming to ASTM B649 and ASTM A276. Designed for superior corrosion resistance, especially in aggressive environments containing sulphuric, phosphoric, and acetic acids, these rods offer excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking due to their high nickel (23-28%) and molybdenum (4-5%) content.

SS 904L threaded rods are widely specified for chemical processing, marine, and pollution control applications where standard 316L or 317L stainless steel is inadequate. All rods are supplied with full traceability and EN 10204 3.1 certification.

Material Chemistry

SS 904L Chemical Composition

SS 904L Threaded Rods 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 Threaded Rods

High Nickel & Molybdenum — Acid Resistance
The elevated nickel (23–28%) and molybdenum (4–5%) content in SS 904L provides exceptional resistance to reducing acids, especially sulphuric acid, making these rods ideal for chemical plant and fertilizer applications.
Copper Addition — Chloride & Acid Protection
Copper (1–2%) enhances resistance to sulphuric and phosphoric acids and improves performance in chloride-rich environments, reducing the risk of pitting and crevice corrosion in marine and process plant settings.
Ultra-Low Carbon — No Sensitization
With a maximum carbon content of 0.02%, SS 904L threaded rods are immune to intergranular corrosion after welding, ensuring long-term reliability in welded assemblies and high-temperature service.
