Louis Metals is providing high-quality Stainless Steel 904L Hex Bars in Houston, USA, designed for enhanced corrosion resistance and strength in corrosive environments. Grade 904L (UNS N08904) is a non-stabilized austenitic stainless steel containing extra molybdenum and copper that provides excellent resistance to acidic and chloride-contaminated atmospheres. Hexagonal configuration provides better torque transmission, which is suitable for precision fasteners and machined parts. Louis Metals supplies 904L hex bars in any desired length, diameters, and surface finishes, as per ASTM A276 standards, for applications in marine, chemical, food, and pharmaceutical processing industries.
Stainless Steel 904L Hex Bars have 19–23% chromium, 23–28% nickel, 4–5% molybdenum, 1–2% copper, and low carbon content (<0.02%). 904L has tensile strength between 490–710 MPa and yield strength of approximately 220 MPa. It has superior pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion resistance. The alloy is non-magnetic, very tough, and can work well in acidic environments. The hex profile ensures improved mechanical grip for threading and machining operations. Louis Metals guarantees uniform dimensional accuracy and surface integrity in each hex bar.

SS 904L Hex Bar offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially against pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion cracking. Its high nickel and chromium content make it ideal for harsh environments like chemical processing, marine, and power plants. The hexagonal shape provides enhanced strength and machinability, ensuring durability and reliability in industrial applications.
SS 904L outperforms many stainless steels, such as 304 and 316, in corrosion resistance due to its higher nickel and molybdenum content. This composition enhances resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for environments with high chloride concentrations or acidic exposure, such as chemical and marine applications.
SS 904L Hex Bar is commonly used in the chemical, petrochemical, marine, and pharmaceutical industries. It is ideal for applications such as heat exchangers, reactor vessels, pressure vessels, and piping systems, where resistance to corrosion, especially in acidic and chloride-rich environments, is critical for long-term durability and performance.
904L Stainless Steel Hex Bars are well-suited for high-corrosion applications in the pharmaceutical, oil & gas, marine, and chemical industries. The most common applications are in pump parts, shafts, fasteners, bolts, and nuts in acid and chloride-exposed environments. Its hexagonal shape is well-suited for high-precision machining and mechanical assemblies that need low fit and resistance to torque. 904L hex bars find applications in food processing machines, pollution control systems, and offshore facilities. Custom-cut hex bars are supplied by Louis Metals to address stringent application requirements where strength, hygiene, and resistance against corrosion are vital.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
