Extra low-carbon grade Stainless Steel which is fine-tuned for use with the ProX® DMP 320, producing parts with high corrosion resistance and sterilisability. LaserForm 316L (A) yields crack free and completely dense parts for all your applications. LaserForm 316L (A) is formulated and fine-tuned specifically for 3D Systems DMP 320 metal 3D Printers to deliver highest part quality and best part properties. Austenitic stainless steel type LaserForm 316L is the extra low carbon grade of 316. This steel is used as a general purpose material with excellent mechanical and corrosion properties at room temperature. Its chloride resistance makes this specific grade of stainless steel suitable for marine applications. 316L stainless steel is also the preferred material for use in hydrogen atmospheres or for hydrogen piping / cooling applications. Furthermore 316L retains good mechanical properties at sub-zero and even cryogenic temperatures and is suitable for structural components in low-temperature applications. Classification: Parts built with LaserForm 316L alloy have a chemical composition that conforms to the compositional requirements of DIN X2CrNiMo 17-12-2 or Werkstoff Nr. 1.4404.
