AISI 304LN | EN 1.4311

Description

Stainless Steel 304LN is a low-carbon, higher nickel and nitrogen alloyed alternative to 304 with improved strength and low-temperature toughness. Suitable for applications that require high tensile strength. is an austenitic stainless steel that belongs to the standard CrNi stainless steel family.

The austenitic CrNi standard grades are the most widely used group of stainless steels. Their well-balanced material properties make them suitable for the fabrication of many products. Due to its fully austenitic structure, the alloy is suitable for applications with low magnetic permeability requirements It is reasonable to expect specifications in these standards to be similar but not necessarily identical to those given in this data sheet.

In aqueous solutions containing halogenides, e.g. chlorides or bromides, pitting and crevice corrosion may occur depending on halogenide concentration, temperature, pH-value, concentration of oxidizing compounds, and crevice geometry, if applicable. The presence of corrosion-inhibiting or accelerating compounds like transition metal ions or organic compounds may influence the corrosion behavior of Core 304LN/4311. Due to its high nitrogen content, the resistance of the alloy against pitting and crevice corrosion is slightly increased compared to the basic austenitic CrNi standard grades 4301 and 4307.
