SS4480 304L Stainless Steel Powder

304L Stainless Steel Powder Description

304L Stainless Steel Powder is produced from the most commonly used stainless steel. This steel contains both Chromium (between 18% and 20%) and Nickel as its primary non-ferrous components. It is an austenitic stainless steel. It has lower electrical and thermal conductivity than carbon steel and is fundamentally magnetic, though less so than steel. Its corrosion resistance exceeds that of normal steel, and it is widely used due to its ability to be easily formed into various shapes.

Applications of 304L Stainless Steel Powder

Metal Injection Moulding (MIM): 304L Stainless Steel Powder is frequently employed in the MIM process for creating complex stainless steel components with high precision. Its fine particle size and excellent flowability enable the manufacture of intricate shapes, making it suitable for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical technology.

Powder Metallurgy (PM): The powder can be utilised in powder metallurgical processes such as compaction and sintering to produce stainless steel parts with outstanding mechanical properties. These parts are applicable in machinery, tools, and industrial equipment.

Additive Manufacturing (AM): 304L Stainless Steel Powder can be applied in additive manufacturing techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) or electron beam melting (EBM) for producing stainless steel parts with complex geometries. The resulting parts are characterised by high strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy.

Stainless Steel Coatings: The powder is utilised in thermal spray coatings and cold gas spraying processes to create a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant layer on various substrates. It finds frequent application in industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, and automotive, to protect critical components.

Decorative Applications: 304L Stainless Steel Powder is used in situations where an aesthetically appealing stainless steel surface is required. It is applicable in architectural elements, kitchen appliances, jewellery, and other consumer goods.

Chemical and Petrochemical Industry: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance against a wide range of chemicals and environments, the powder is suitable for making components used in chemical processing plants and petrochemical facilities.
