Properties of Stainless Steel Powder
Stainless steel powder is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and durability. It typically contains chromium, which forms a passive layer to prevent rust. Key properties include good thermal conductivity, machinability, and recyclability, making it versatile for industrial use.
Applications Across Industries
This material is widely used in additive manufacturing, automotive parts, medical implants, and aerospace components. Its ability to create complex, lightweight structures via 3D printing has revolutionized production processes. Industries also leverage it for coatings and filtration systems.
Manufacturing Processes
Gas Atomization is a common method, where molten steel is dispersed into fine droplets using high-pressure gas, resulting in spherical powders ideal for AM. Water Atomization produces irregular shapes for pressing and sintering. Other techniques include electrolysis and mechanical milling, each suited to specific particle size and purity requirements.
