904L Stainless Steel: Precision Stamping with Zero Cracking

In high-precision manufacturing, especially for electronics, medical devices, and chemical equipment, stamping performance is critical. One material that consistently stands out in this area is 904L stainless steel. Known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, 904L stainless steel also delivers remarkable precision stamping capability—with zero cracking.

The key to this lies in its austenitic microstructure, which offers superior ductility and formability compared to many other stainless steel grades. Even under high-pressure stamping, bending, or deep drawing operations, 904L stainless steel resists stress fractures and maintains edge integrity.

Additionally, 904L stainless steel is alloyed with high nickel (24–26%) and molybdenum (4–5%), which not only improves corrosion resistance but also enhances workability. Its low carbon content further reduces the risk of carbide formation, which could otherwise lead to embrittlement during forming.

Thanks to advanced production techniques such as cold rolling with surface finish control, 904L stainless steel and sheets offer tight thickness tolerances and uniform grain structure, both of which contribute to clean, burr-free stamping.

Industries using 904L stainless steel for stamped components benefit from higher product yield, reduced tool wear, and fewer rejects—a major cost-saving factor in high-volume production.

904L stainless steel isn’t just about durability—it’s a precision-ready material that enables crack-free stamping, even in complex shapes. If your project demands reliability and formability, 904L is an investment that delivers both performance and peace of mind.
