STAVINOX 385 / 904L

STAVINOX 385 / 904L

904L filler wire is intended for welding stainless steels that need both high corrosion resistance and strength. It can join 904L to other grades such as 304 and 316, and it holds up well in harsh service. Because it keeps its toughness at low temperatures, it is a good match for cryogenic and non-magnetic applications. The weld metal resists pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, so welds stay sound over time in industrial and marine settings.

Key Features and Benefits

STAVINOX 385 / 904L is a 904L filler wire for demanding fabrication jobs, producing strong, durable and corrosion-resistant welds across industrial, marine and chemical applications.

  • Ferrite-Free Welds: The deposit is smooth and free of ferrite, so it resists cracking and corrosion and keeps its structural integrity under high stress or in aggressive surroundings.
  • Impact Toughness: Strength and toughness are retained at extremely low temperatures, which guards against brittle failure in cryogenic and cold-climate welding work.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Strong protection against general, pitting and crevice corrosion makes the wire a fit for harsh chemical, marine or acidic environments where long-term reliability matters.
  • Stress Corrosion Protection: The risk of stress-induced cracking in welded joints is reduced, so joints stay stable even under changing mechanical and thermal loads.
  • Finish Options: Bright, matte and semi-bright finishes are offered, letting you choose the surface that suits your welding process and appearance requirements.
  • Size Range: Diameters run from 0.60 mm to 5.00 mm for MIG and TIG welding, giving flexibility across applications along with precise control.
  • Flexible Packaging: Spools, tubes or drums are available, which makes the wire easy to handle, store and ship, and practical in both workshop and field use.

Properties

SS 904L filler wire is engineered for steady mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance and dependable behaviour in tough welding duties across industrial, marine and chemical environments.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Exceptional protection against general, pitting and crevice corrosion suits harsh marine, chemical and acidic conditions where durability over the long term is critical.
  • Low-Temperature Toughness: Impact strength remains high even at extremely low temperatures, so welds do not turn brittle and stay safe in cryogenic or cold-weather service.
  • Ferrite-Free Welds: Smooth, ferrite-free deposits lower the risk of cracking, improve structural integrity and perform consistently under mechanical and thermal stress.
  • Versatile Finishes: Bright, matte and semi-bright finishes cover different aesthetic and functional needs across welding processes.
  • Easy Handling: Spools, tubes and drums make storage, transport and use simple, whether in the workshop or on site.
