Premium 316L Stainless Steel Metal Powder is engineered specifically for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and other metal additive manufacturing processes. With a tightly controlled particle size distribution of 15–53μm, spherical morphology, and excellent flowability (40S Hall Flow), this powder ensures consistent layer deposition, high build success rates, and superior surface finish in complex geometries.
Designed for industrial applications requiring corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility — ideal for medical implants, aerospace components, marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, and custom tooling. After SLM processing, parts achieve near-full density (≥99%), with tensile strength ≥560 MPa, yield strength ≥480 MPa, and elongation up to 20%, meeting or exceeding ASTM F3184 standards.
Key Advantages:
- Optimized for SLM/DMLS systems (e.g., EOS, Renishaw, SLM Solutions)
- Low oxygen content (≤0.13%) and hydrogen (≤120ppm) for reduced porosity & cracking
- High apparent density (3.9 g/cm³) enables efficient packing and melting
- Fully traceable chemical composition compliant with ISO/ASTM specifications
- Suitable for post-processing: heat treatment, HIP, machining, polishing
Technical Specs Summary:
- Particle Size: 15–53μm | Morphology: Spherical | Flowability: 40S
- Chemical Balance: Fe + Cr(16–18%) + Ni(10–14%) + Mo(2–3%) + trace elements
