Austenitic stainless steel, this material shows the highest corrosion resistance properties. This steel show excellent corrosion resistance against acids like phosphorous and sulphuric. As a standard practice at the Tolia Group all stainless steel 904L balls are supplied in a passivated condition.
Applications :
- Chemical / Nuclear Industries
- Applications where Alkaline water is in contact with the balls
- Special valves
