Does anyone have data or thoughts on the pitting performance of Type 304 stainless steel versus Type 304L?
Are they expected to be similar, or is one significantly different?

In my opinion 304 and 304L have the same pitting behaviour, the L version has only better weldability properties due to its lower carbon content.
