Overview
316L is the corrosion-resistant workhorse of metal printing: acid resistance, very high ductility (55-58% elongation) and weldability make it the default for fluid-contact and marine-adjacent parts.
Our powder is sourced from an AS9100 / ISO 9001 certified supplier with full chemistry and particle-size certification per batch (15-53 µm).
Key Properties

Printing & Handling Notes
Parts receive stress relief as standard. More malleable than 17-4 PH — choose 17-4 PH when hardness outranks ductility.
