Q: What is the primary difference in chemical composition?
A: 409L contains negligible amounts of Ni, Mo, and Cu, relying on 11% Cr and Ti for stabilization; 904L contains 23–28% Ni, 4–5% Mo, 1–2% Cu, and C ≤ 0.02%, with total alloy content exceeding 409L by more than threefold.
Q: Can magnets be used for differentiation?
A: Yes, magnets can be used for differentiation. 409L is ferritic and exhibits strong magnetic properties; 904L is austenitic and is non-magnetic in the annealed state, remaining virtually non-magnetic even after cold working. This is the most intuitive method for rapid on-site identification.
Q: Which has better corrosion resistance, 409L or 904L?
A: 904L offers superior corrosion resistance and is specifically designed for high-acid, highly corrosive environments.
