Over the years, Starc Metals has built a solid reputation as a trusted supplier not just in Australia, but beyond.
Stainless Steel 904L Forgings are crafted from high-alloy austenitic stainless steel with a low carbon content, featuring 19–23% chromium, 23–28% nickel, 4–5% molybdenum, and 1–2% copper. This unique composition grants remarkable resistance to corrosion, pitting, and stress cracking, especially in acidic and harsh environments. The material is known for its excellent toughness, with a tensile strength ranging from approximately 490–710 MPa, and it also offers good weldability. Its superior hardness retention and formability, even at elevated temperatures, make 904L stainless steel forgings perfect for critical applications that require long-lasting performance and reliability in challenging industrial and marine conditions.
