(UNS N08904) : NAS High Corrosion Resistant Stainless Steel

NAS 255 (UNS N08904)
NAS High Corrosion Resistant Stainless Steel

NAS 255 (UNS N08904, SUS 890L) is an austenitic stainless steel with superior corrosion resistance in comparison
with Type 316L. Due to addition of Cu (1.5%), this material displays excellent corrosion resistance against reducing
acids such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. It is used in chemical plants and a wide range of other applications.
Nippon Yakin supplies this product in plate, sheet and strip form.

and post-heating are not necessary. As welding electrodes, in applications under
severe corrosion environments, use of welding consumables with equal or higher
corrosion resistance is recommended. When the corrosion environment is not
severe, and when the purpose of welding is for joining, matching welding consum-
ables may be used.
Solution annealing of NAS 255 should be performed at 1095°C and higher followed

by being quenched in water or rapidly cooled by other means. (Conditions provided
in ASTM A480/A480M)
A mixture of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid is used in pickling. However, due to
Pickling
the high corrosion resistance of NAS 255, scale is somewhat difficult to remove
in comparison with Type 304. Therefore, the material should be immersed in an
alkaline solution before pickling, or if possible, shot blasting is extremely effective.
