BENEFITS
A family of austenitic powders that are similar in chemistry to EN 1.4404 and UNS
S316603. These materials are designed for processing in Laser Powder Bed Fusion
(LB-PBF), Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (EB-PBF) or Directed Energy Deposition
(DED) additive manufacturing systems. MetcoAdd 316L series products have been
rigorously engineered specifically to meet the demanding requirements for additive
manufacturing.
APPLICATIONS
ā Aerospace: Clamping elements and heat exchangers
ā Medical: Surgical tools and orthopedic implants
ā Transport: Maritime components
ā Tooling: Pressure injection dies and molds
ā Consumer: Jewelry and watch components
