3D Printing 316 Powder Stainless Steel Powder

What is 3D Printing 316 Powder Stainless Steel Powder?
Stainless steel 316 is an iron-based alloy containing at least 10.5% chromium. They achieve their stainless steel properties by forming an invisible, attached chromium-rich oxide film.316 alloy is a kind of universal austenitic stainless steel with a face-centered cubic structure. It is essentially non-magnetic in the annealed state and can only be hardened by cold work. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy, especially in the environment containing chlorine, molybdenum is added, and the low carbon content of 316L alloy gives it better corrosion resistance in the welded tissue.

How is 3D Printing 316 Powder Stainless Steel Powder produced?

The production methods of 316 stainless steel powder mainly include the following:

Mechanical ball milling method: put 316 stainless steel raw materials into the ball mill, through the rotation of the ball mill, so that the stainless steel raw materials are subject to the impact of the ball milling ball and grinding effect, gradually refined into a powder state.

Chemical reduction method: the use of reducing agents such as hydrogen, water vapor, etc., at high temperature and high-pressure conditions, the 316 stainless steel oxides are reduced to metal powder.

Electrochemical method: 316 stainless steel sheet material as the anode, in the electrolytic solution through electrolysis, gradually dissolved and refined into powder state.

Plasma method: the use of plasma technology, the 316 stainless steel raw materials melted into liquid state and refined into powder.

Laser melting method: the use of laser beams or electron beams and other high-energy beams will be 316 stainless steel raw materials melted into a liquid state and refined into a powder state under rapid cooling conditions.

Among these methods, the mechanical ball milling method is one of the most commonly used production methods, and its main advantages are high production efficiency, low cost, and easy to realize industrialized production. At the same time, in the production process, you can also control the process parameters such as ball milling time, ball milling ball size, and material to control the particle size and morphology of stainless steel powder.

Applications of 3D Printing 316 Powder Stainless Steel Powder:

316 stainless steel powder has excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, so it is widely used in many fields. The following are some of the main application areas of 316 stainless steel powder:

Manufacture of filtration elements: 316 stainless steel powder can be used to manufacture high-efficiency, high-precision, highly corrosion-resistant filtration elements, such as sintered cartridges, filters, and so on.

Manufacture of high-temperature components: 316 stainless steel powder can be used to manufacture components that work in high-temperature environments, such as in aerospace, automotive, and other fields, for the manufacture of engine components, automotive catalytic converters, and so on.

Manufacture of medical devices: Because 316 stainless steel has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, it can be used in the manufacture of medical devices, such as surgical instruments, implants, and so on.

Manufacture of electronic products: 316 stainless steel powder can be used to manufacture high-precision, high-reliability electronic components, such as capacitors, inductors, and so on.

Manufacture of sports equipment: 316 stainless steel powder can be used to manufacture high-strength, lightweight sports equipment, such as golf clubs, bicycle frames, and so on.

Storage Condition of 316 Powder Stainless Steel Powder:
The damp reunion will affect 316 powder dispersion performance and using effects, therefore, 316 powder stainless steel powder should be sealed in vacuum packing and stored in cool and dry room, the 316 powder stainless steel powder can not be exposure to air. In addition, the 316 powder should be avoided under stress.
