Hinge pins and baskets use in the tobacco industry. Fasteners where higher strength, non-magnetic behavior and galling resistance over 304 or 304HQ is required.
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.
