Consumer Electronics and Precision Parts: Widely used in the manufacture of structural components for 3C products, smart wearable devices, and watch cases. Its excellent formability and surface gloss meet appearance and precision requirements.
Medical Devices and Food Equipment: With excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, it is suitable for manufacturing complex components for surgical instruments, implant substrates, and food processing equipment.
Automotive and Chemical Parts: Used to produce automotive components resistant to fuel and lubricating oil corrosion, as well as porous or dense components such as pumps, valves, and filters in chemical environments.
Metal Injection Molding: Ideal raw material for metal injection molding processes, suitable for mass production of small, complex, three-dimensional near-net-shape precision parts.
Q1: What is the main difference between 304L stainless powder and regular 304 stainless powder?
A1: The core difference lies in the carbon content. 304L stainless steel powder is a low-carbon grade, minimizing carbide precipitation after welding or heat treatment, thus significantly improving resistance to intergranular corrosion, making it particularly suitable for parts requiring subsequent welding.
Q2: How does the 304L stainless powder packaging ensure it is not oxidized?
A2: We use industry-standard professional anti-oxidation packaging to ensure the powder maintains low oxygen content and good performance during storage and transportation.
Q3: How do I choose the appropriate powder particle size for my metal injection molding process?
A3: Metal injection molding typically requires finer powder to achieve good filling and sintering activity. Common applicable particle size ranges are 0-22μm or 0-27μm. We can provide selection advice based on your specific product requirements and binder system.
Q4: What are the mechanical properties of parts printed or formed using this powder?
A4: With appropriate process parameters, the formed parts can achieve the basic mechanical properties of their material standards, such as tensile strength not less than 485MPa and yield strength not less than 170MPa. Actual performance will be optimized due to molding density, process, and subsequent heat treatment.
