316L Stainless Steel Powder
Gas-atomized spherical 316L powder for additive manufacturing and surface engineering.
Material overview
The Metal & Thermal Spray Powders catalog describes 316L Stainless Steel Powder as follows: Gas-atomized spherical 316L powder for additive manufacturing and surface engineering. Reviewers should evaluate High sphericity and flowability, low oxygen, controlled D10/D50/D90, and corrosion resistant. The grade record lists Additive manufacturing of chemical, marine and medical-tool parts, thermal spray, and repair among typical applications. The dataset currently includes 10 property records covering chemical composition, physical properties, and mechanical properties. Standards and form records reference A240 and B160 and Powder. Final supply conditions remain subject to specification, inspection, and export-control review.
