With its headquarters located in Kolkata, India, Neil Metals is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of stainless steel 904L hollow bars, offering top-notch corrosion-resistant solutions to a variety of industries. Neil Metals, which offers 904L hollow bars in a range of sizes and custom specifications, is renowned for its accuracy, robustness, and adherence to international quality standards. Their products are widely used in the pharmaceutical, marine, and chemical processing industries where exceptional resistance to acids and chlorides is crucial. Neil Metals has established a solid reputation as a trustworthy supplier for stainless steel hollow bar needs by emphasising quality control, prompt delivery, and client satisfaction.
With 19–23% chromium, 23–28% nickel, 1-2 molybdenum, and 1-2 copper, stainless steel 904L is a low-carbon, high-alloy austenitic stainless steel that improves corrosion resistance, particularly against phosphoric and sulphuric acids. It has good weldability and formability, a tensile strength of about 490 MPa, a yield strength of 220 MPa, and an elongation of 35%. Because of its low carbon content, carbide precipitation during welding is reduced. The alloy is perfect for harsh, corrosive environments where traditional stainless steels may fail because it retains its high strength and toughness even in below-freezing temperatures.

SS 904L differs from other stainless steels by its high resistance to corrosion, especially in acidic environments. It contains added copper, making it more resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking compared to standard stainless steel alloys.
SS 904L stainless steel consists of approximately 24-26% chromium, 19-23% nickel, 4-5% molybdenum, 1-2% copper, and small amounts of manganese, silicon, and carbon. The copper enhances corrosion resistance, particularly in acidic environments, while maintaining high strength.
The typical diameter range for SS 904L hollow bars varies from 10 mm to 300 mm, although custom sizes can be manufactured. These bars are available in various wall thicknesses, depending on specific application requirements and industry standards.
Stainless Steel 904L Hollow Bars are extensively used in chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, marine engineering, and offshore oil and gas industries due to their outstanding resistance to strong acids and chloride-rich environments. They are ideal for producing heat exchangers, condenser tubes, pressure vessels, and seawater handling systems. In paper and pulp mills, 904L bars are used in bleaching equipment, while the food and beverage industries utilize them in sanitary processing equipment. Their excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance make them suitable for high-purity applications, including nuclear fuel reprocessing, where material integrity is critical.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
