High Purity 3D Printing 304 Stainless Steel Powder

About 3D printing 304 stainless steel powder: This powder has excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Its spherical grains can be positioned in a parallel position to the surface of a coating film. They are then distributed throughout the film to create a shielding coating with an excellent ability to hide moisture. 304 stainless steel has a density of 7.93 g/cm3. It is used in many industries, including furniture decoration and food and medical industry. It is a universal stainless steel that is used to produce equipment and parts with good properties (corrosion resistant and formability). To maintain the inherent resistance of stainless, the steel should contain at minimum 18% chromium, and at most 8% nickel. Ni is a very important element for 304 Stainless Steel. This element directly determines 304 Stainless Steel's corrosion resistance.
Ni and Cr are important, but not the only elements. The product standard specifies the specific requirements. According to a widely accepted industry standard, if Ni is above 8% and Cr is above 18%, 304 stainless is considered.
The main factors to be considered when selecting stainless steel are the aesthetic requirements, the corrosive environment of the site, and the cleaning system. In other applications, structural integrity and impermeability are the main criteria. The roofs and walls of industrial buildings, for example. In these cases, cost is more important than appearance, even if it's not very clean. 304 stainless steel performs well in indoor, dry environments. For rural and urban environments, it's necessary to clean the surface frequently. In industrial and coastal areas that are heavily polluted, the surface may be dirty or even rusted.

How does 3D printing 304 stainless steel powder produce?
A metal powder of stainless steel made from an stainless steel alloy. The average particle size is 33 microns. The spherical shaped particles have good corrosion resistance, durability and can be distributed evenly in the coating. They form a shielding film with moisture blocking and excellent concealing power. The sandblasting machine can also be utilized to process certain high precision machining components. The stainless steel powder is made from low carbon steel that contains chromium between 18% and 20%, nickel between 10% and 12%, and molybdenum around 3%. It can be produced by atomizing the steel, ball milling it in the presence lubricant such as stearic, screening, classification, or wet ball grinding.

Applications 3D-Printing 304 Stainless Steel powder
304 stainless is the most popular chromium-nickel steel. As a widely-used steel, it has good corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It is important to maintain a clean atmosphere to reduce corrosion.
Ideal for transporting, storing and processing food.
It is easy to machinable, and it can be welded.
Plate heat-exchangers and bellows are household items (class 1 or 2 tablewares, cabinets, indoor pipe, water heaters boilers and bathtubs), automotive parts (windshield wipers, silencers and mold products), medical devices, building materials, chemicals, food industry agriculture ship parts etc.

Storage condition of 304 Stainless Steel powder:
The dampness of the powder will affect its performance and use. Therefore, 304 Stainless Steel Powder needs to be packed in vacuum and kept in a dry and cool room. 304 powder is also not to be used under pressure.

Shipping & Packing of 304 Stainless Steel Powder
The quantity of 304 Stainless Steel Powder will determine the type of packaging.
304 Stainless Steel Powder Packaging: Vacuum packing, 100g/bag or 500g/bag or 1kg/bag or 25kg/barrel or according to your requirements.
Shipping 304 Stainless Steel: Powder can be shipped by air, sea, or express as quickly as possible after payment receipt.
