904L is an austenitic stainless steel.It is softer than 316L, [1] [2] and its molybdenum addition gives it superior resistance to localized attack (pitting and crevice corrosion) by chlorides and greater resistance reducing acids; in particular, its copper addition gives it useful corrosion resistance to all concentrations of sulfuric acid.
Alloy 20 is an austenitic stainless steel containing less than 50% iron developed for applications involving sulfuric acid.Its corrosion resistance also finds other uses in the chemical, petrochemical, power generation, and plastics industries.
Zeron 100 has a copper addition which provides good resistance to sulfuric acid. For this reason, it is used in acid leach mining applications, steel pickling and other industries where sulfuric acid is encountered. There are modified versions of Zeron 100 for specific applications. Zeron 100FG is a fastener grade of round bar.
Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20) is an austenitic stainless steel possessing excellent resistance to hot sulfuric acid and many other aggressive environments which would readily attack type 316 stainless. This alloy exhibits superior resistance to stress-corrosion cracking in boiling 20–40% sulfuric acid.
Sulfuric acid is one of the most-produced industrial chemicals. At room temperature, type 304 stainless steel is only resistant to 3% acid, while type 316 is resistant to 3% acid up to 50 °C (120 °F) and 20% acid at room temperature. Thus type 304 SS is rarely used in contact with sulfuric acid.
A diluted sulfuric acid pickling bath is traditionally used, [6] but may be replaced with citric acid. Sheet steel that undergoes acid pickling will oxidize (rust) when exposed to atmospheric conditions of moderately high humidity. For this reason, a thin film of oil or similar waterproof coating is applied to create a barrier to moisture in ...
SAE 316L grade stainless steel, sometimes referred to as A4 stainless steel or marine grade stainless steel, is the second most common austenitic stainless steel after 304/A2 stainless steel. Its primary alloying constituents after iron , are chromium (between 16–18%), nickel (10–12%) and molybdenum (2–3%), up to 2% manganese , [ 1 ] with ...
Various colors on stainless steel 18 Cr / 8 Ni 7.5 g of sodium dichromate , 1000 mL of sulfuric acid (1.24 g/cm 3 ), lead cathodes, object as an anode, 70-90 °C temp, 0,06 A/dm 2 , voltage 1.3 V – colors depend on the duration of the procedure (5-50 min.), brown, blue, reddish brown, yellow, green.
