Produce complex metal parts quicker and with fewer tools and less wasted material than machining. The parts made with these powders look virtually the same as machined parts, are easy to weld, and resist corrosion. However, since they’re rapidly heated and cooled, they can form internal stresses and pores that make them more brittle than machined parts. These powders include a material certificate with a traceable lot number and test report that confirms their material composition. All were produced in facilities that meet ISO standards for quality.

Use them with powder bed fusion (PBF) printing systems, such as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), selective laser melting (SLM), and electron beam melting (EBM). Their parts cannot be heat treated.

With added molybdenum, 316/316L stainless steel powders create parts that resist rusting and cracking from corrosion better than 718 nickel. Choose them for parts that are often exposed to acids and chlorides in chemical, food, and marine applications.
