Da Nang’s Chung Metal offers Stainless Steel 904L round bars and rods featuring great corrosion resistance coupled with outstanding mechanical stability. These austenitic high alloy rounds are made with strict specifications to provide precision in diameter, smoothness on the surface, and stability in structure. Having been formulated for application where the environment is chemically corrosive, SS 904L rounds find their suitable applications in piping, shafting, and parts necessitating a clean surface and high resilience. Our production ensures stability, low porosity, and high toughness. Shippers who require durable performance over the long term in marine, chemical, and high-humidity conditions select Chung Metal’s 904L rounds for dependability and low maintenance.
SS 904L contains ~25‑28 % chromium, ~20‑25 % nickel, ~4‑5 % molybdenum, ~1‑2 % copper, very little carbon (<0.02 %), possibly nitrogen strengthened. It has tensile strength approximately 500‑700 MPa, yield strength ~200‑300 MPa, elongation ~40‑50 %. Hardness is generally ~150‑230 HB based on finish and treatment. It has excellent impact toughness, and good ductility over wide temperature ranges. Corrosion resistance is exceptional in chloride, sulphuric acid, and seawater exposures, with high resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking.
