204CU
4Pages

Applications Hinge pins and baskets use in the tobacco industry. Fasteners where higher strength, non-magnetic behaviour and galling resistance over 304 or 304HQ is required. Description Alloy 204CU is a chromium-magnesium austenitic stainless steel with an addition of 2-4% copper and nitrogen of 0.05-0.25%. Due to the addition of copper the alloy has better formability than 201 and 304. The copper improves corrosion and resistance to stress corrosion cracking in certain media. 204CU bridges the cost-property gap between 200 and 300 series stainless. Alloy 204CU is slightly after cold working but can be minimized.

204CU STAINLESS STEEL Additional Properties Corrosion Resistance Refer to NACE (National Associate of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations. Finishes # 1 - Hot rolled annealed and de-scaled. It is available in strip, foil and ribbon. It is used for applications where a smooth decorative finish is not required. # 2D - Dull finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. Used for deep drawn parts and those parts that need to retain lubricants in the forming process. # 2B - Smooth finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and de-scaling. A light cold rolling pass is added after...
