Product Overview
SS 904L nuts are high-alloy austenitic stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS N08904 bar stock conforming to ASTM A276 and ASTM A479. The alloys 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.
