Dana,
Are you looking for susceptibility of 304L to pitting/SCC in wet bromine, hydrobromic acid or something else?
I saw couple of manuscripts online (google search) on localized corrosion study of austenitic stainless steels in sodium bromide solution but at a much lower temperature (T < 100C). You can also plan to check "ASM Specialty Handbook: Nickel, Cobalt and Their Alloys" (Ed. J.R. Davis). There is a chapter on SCC and HE of Nickel-Alloys. In this chapter, there is a section on SCC in Bromides, Iodides and Fluorides which may be of interest to you.
In general, the pitting corrosion resistance and SCC resistance of 304L is not high and bromide (being halide) can be detrimental to such an alloy.
Thanks
Ajit

I am interested in anyone's experience with Bromine induced cracking/pitting of 304L in temperatures in the 350-450 F range.
