Read More316L Stainless Steel (DM Studio System)
A Desktop Metal® qualified material
for the Studio System™
316L stainless steel is a fully austenitic, non-magnetic steel. The austenitic alloy contains a high percentage of nickel and chromium, thus making this steel resistant to corrosion. It is ideal for harsh environments and is characterized by its performance at both high and low temperatures and high ductility.
A Fully Austenitic Stainless Steel
316L Stainless Steel is a molybdenum-bearing, fully austenitic stainless steel. It has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at high and low temperatures.
Industry Applications
316L stainless steel is a common material used in many applications, such as chemical and petrochemical processing, food processing, laboratory equipment, medical devices, marine, jewelry, power generation, petroleum refining, water treatment, pulp and paper manufacturing.
