Stainless steel powder 304L is a corrosion resistant material that exhibits good property stability below 1000°F. 304L powder is often the most practical stainless steel choice for parts that need the benefit of an austenitic grade.
304 Stainless steel exhibits better overall corrosion resistance than 303 grade. This material is a good choice for parts that will not be subjected to demanding machining operations. A major benefit of this material is the balance of good material performance and economical cost.
The 300 Series Powders are austenitic stainless steels typically used for powdered metallurgy (P/M) press and sinter applications to make near net shape parts for a variety of industrial applications.
