ASTM A358 Grade 904L Electric Fusion Welded (EFW) Pipes are a specific type of stainless steel pipes that conform to the ASTM A358 standard and are made using grade 904L stainless steel. This grade of stainless steel is known for its high resistance to corrosion in a wide range of aggressive environments, including those containing sulfuric acid, chloride, and other corrosive substances. The "EFW" in the name stands for Electric Fusion Welding, which is the process used to manufacture these pipes. The ASTM A358 standard outlines the requirements for electric fusion welded austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel pipes for high-temperature and general corrosive service. Grade 904L is a non-stabilized low carbon high alloy austenitic stainless steel that possesses excellent formability, weldability, and toughness. It also demonstrates good resistance to crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.
These pipes find applications in various industries such as chemical processing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and more, where resistance to corrosion is paramount. The electric fusion welding process used in their fabrication ensures strong and durable joints, making them suitable for demanding conditions.
