Stainless Steel 904L Fasteners are super-austenitic stainless steel fastening components made from UNS N08904 / EN 1.4539 material. Their high nickel, molybdenum and copper content provides excellent resistance to aggressive acids, chloride-containing environments, pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. They are commonly used in chemical processing, petrochemical, marine, offshore, pharmaceutical and pollution-control equipment.

Stainless Steel 904L Fasteners Supplier | 904L Bolts, Nuts & Threaded Rods

Stainless Steel 904L Fasteners are high-alloy, low-carbon austenitic fasteners designed for demanding corrosive environments where conventional stainless steels may not provide sufficient resistance. Also known as Alloy 904L Fasteners, this super-austenitic grade contains high levels of nickel and molybdenum along with copper, providing excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and aggressive acidic media.

904L is identified as UNS N08904, Werkstoff Nr. 1.4539, EN X1NiCrMoCu25-20-5, and 904S13. The combination of chromium, nickel, molybdenum and copper makes the alloy particularly suitable for sulfuric and phosphoric acid environments, chemical processing, seawater service, pollution-control equipment, and other highly corrosive applications.

We supply 904L Stainless Steel Bolts and Nuts, stud bolts, hex bolts, screws, threaded rods and other precision fasteners in standard and customized dimensions. Fasteners can be supplied according to applicable product, dimensional and customer specifications, with inspection documentation and testing as required.

Key Features and Benefits of 904L SS Fasteners

904L SS Fasteners are selected when corrosion resistance is more important than using a conventional stainless steel grade.

  • Excellent resistance to sulfuric and phosphoric acids.
  • High resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
  • Good resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking.
  • High nickel content for improved corrosion performance.
  • Molybdenum and copper improve resistance in aggressive chemical environments.
  • Very low carbon content helps reduce sensitization after welding.
  • Suitable for marine and seawater-related applications.
  • Good toughness and ductility.
  • Available in different fastener configurations and sizes.
  • Suitable for demanding chemical, petrochemical and process environments.

904L is recognized as a super-austenitic stainless steel and has a high PREN, supporting its resistance to localized corrosion in chloride environments.

ASTM and International Standards for 904L Fasteners

Topic Details
ASTM B649 904L Fasteners Customers may encounter ASTM B649 904L Fasteners in specifications because ASTM B649 historically covered UNS N08904 bar and wire. However, ASTM has subsequently moved UNS N08904 products into stainless-steel specifications such as ASTM A479/A479M and ASTM A484/A484M. The current ASTM B649-26 scope no longer covers UNS N08904.
ASTM A193 904L Bolts / ASME SA193 904L Studs ASTM A193 904L Bolts and ASME SA193 904L Studs may appear in project or procurement terminology. Since ASTM A193 has specific listed grades and classes, the exact 904L material designation and applicable product standard should be confirmed before ordering rather than assuming compatibility with every A193 grade.
Supply & Manufacturing Capability We can manufacture or supply fasteners against customer drawings, specifications and applicable standards, with material test certificates and third-party inspection where required.
