Technical procurement data
Standards, supply and inspection
904L Stainless Steel (UNS N08904 / 1.4539) is supplied as a industrial metal product within the stainless steel products family. A reliable enquiry identifies the exact designation, governing standard, dimensions, condition, inspection scope and documentation before quotation.
| Material / grade | 904L Stainless Steel (UNS N08904 / 1.4539); confirm the exact grade, temper or heat-treatment designation on the purchase order. |
|---|---|
| Product form | Industrial metal product |
| Standards and order reference | State the governing ASTM, ASME, EN, DIN, JIS, GB, AWS or customer specification on the purchase order; no standard is assumed from the product name alone. |
| Dimensions and tolerances | State the required section or diameter, wall or thickness, length, tolerance, straightness or flatness, edge/end condition and machining allowance. |
| Surface and supply condition | Hot-finished, cold-worked, solution-annealed, pickled, ground or polished condition is stated on the order as applicable to the product form. |
| Inspection options | The inspection plan may include material identification, chemistry and mechanical-property review, dimensional and visual inspection. |
| MTC and traceability | Specify EN 10204 3.1 MTC or the required certificate type, heat/lot traceability, inspection reports, marking, packing list and any third-party release before order confirmation. |
| Typical applications | Application suitability is confirmed from the specified grade, product form, operating temperature, process media, fabrication route and governing standard. |
| RFQ checklist | Send the industrial metal product grade and standard, required dimensions and tolerance, quantity, surface/condition, inspection and certificate requirements, packing preference and delivery destination. |
Final compliance is defined by the purchase order, approved drawing and issued mill documentation. Availability is confirmed for each grade, size and production route.

High-Alloy Austenitic Stainless Supply
904L material for demanding chemical, marine and process environments
904L is a high-nickel, molybdenum-alloyed austenitic stainless steel identified as UNS N08904 and EN 1.4539. SAKYMETAL reviews the required product form, governing specification, dimensions, heat treatment, corrosion service, inspection and documentation before quotation.
Grade identity
UNS N08904 / EN 1.4539, a high-alloy austenitic stainless grade.
Multiple product forms
Bar, plate, sheet, tube, pipe and wire requirements are reviewed by the applicable product specification.
Corrosion-focused selection
Chemical concentration, chlorides, temperature, aeration, fabrication and cleaning practice must all be considered.
Supply Specification
The quotation and purchase order should define the fields below. Availability and acceptance criteria are confirmed against the governing product specification.
| Grade | 904L / UNS N08904 / EN 1.4539 |
|---|---|
| Product forms | Round bar, plate, sheet, coil, tube, pipe and wire by enquiry |
| Condition | Solution-annealed or other condition required by the product standard |
| Dimensions | Product-form-specific size and tolerance |
| Surface | Mill or processed finish by agreement |
| Testing | PMI, mechanical, corrosion or NDT requirements as specified |
| Traceability | Heat number and material test certificate |
| Documentation | EN 10204 3.1 or project-specific documentation when agreed |
Standards and Selection Notes
Specification follows product form
The applicable ASTM, ASME or EN specification differs for plate, bar, tube, pipe and wire. State the exact product form and governing standard rather than ordering by grade name alone.
Fabrication condition matters
Cold work, welding, heat treatment, surface condition and contamination control can change service performance. Define any welding procedure, pickling or passivation requirements.
Corrosion compatibility requires service data
904L is selected for aggressive service, but it is not universally immune. Provide medium, concentration, contaminants, temperature, pressure and cleaning cycle for material review.
Typical Applications
- Chemical processing equipment
- Acid handling and storage systems
- Marine and coastal process equipment
- Desalination and water-treatment components
- Pulp, paper and pollution-control equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 904L the same as 316L?
No. 904L has a substantially different alloy design and is selected for more demanding corrosion conditions. A direct substitution should be based on the governing specification and service review.
Which 904L product forms can be quoted?
Bar, plate, sheet, coil, tube, pipe and wire can be reviewed. Availability, size and standard depend on the required product form and mill route.
What information is needed for a corrosion review?
Provide chemical medium, concentration, chlorides or other contaminants, temperature, pressure, flow, aeration, cleaning method, fabrication condition and expected service life.
