Semih Metals, based in Istanbul, Turkey, stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 904L Forgings, providing high-quality stainless steel solutions designed for critical applications. Using advanced forging techniques and adhering to strict quality standards, these forgings are prized for their exceptional strength, precise dimensions, and remarkable resistance to corrosion. Semih Metals guarantees reliable performance across all its products, catering to industries like chemical processing, marine, oil and gas, and power generation. With a solid reputation for precision and durability, the company has established itself as a trusted provider of stainless steel forgings for industrial applications worldwide.
Stainless Steel 904L Forgings are made up of iron, chromium (19–23%), nickel (23–28%), molybdenum (4–5%), and copper (1–2%), all while maintaining a low carbon content. This high-alloy mix offers impressive resistance to reducing acids, pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress cracking caused by chlorides. On the mechanical side, 904L boasts excellent tensile and yield strength, toughness, and good formability. The low carbon content helps prevent carbide precipitation during welding, which keeps corrosion resistance intact. The forging process enhances the grain structure and mechanical reliability, making these products perfect for high-stress environments where durability and corrosion resistance are crucial.
