High Purity 3D Printing Stainless Steel SS 316L Powder

As the European Union tries to reduce its dependence on Russian energy, the Russian president recently said Russia would try to shift its energy exports to the east, adding that there was no way for European countries to give up Russian gas immediately.

Russia supplies about 40 percent of the EU's gas, and western sanctions imposed over the conflict with Ukraine have complicated financing and logistical arrangements for existing agreements, hitting Russian energy exports, the report noted.  

Russia has been building closer ties with China and other Asian countries as the European Union debates whether to impose sanctions on Russian gas and oil and member states seek supplies from elsewhere, Reuters said.  

"So-called partners from unfriendly countries admit that they cannot survive without Russian energy, including gas," the Russian president said in a televised government meeting. There is no reasonable alternative to Russian gas in Europe right now."  

He also said Europe was driving up energy prices and destabilizing markets by talking about cutting off Russia's energy supplies. Russia, which produces about a tenth of the world's oil and a fifth of its natural gas, will need new infrastructure to increase energy supplies to Asia, he said.

He ordered Moscow to submit a plan by June 1, including "the expansion of transport infrastructure to countries in Africa, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region".  

He also sought to clarify the possibility of integrating two pipelines -- the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas pipeline in the Far East and the "Power of Siberia" gas pipeline to China -- into Russia's unified gas supply system. In theory, connecting these routes to larger gas networks could allow Russia to divert gas from Europe to Asia.

Because of the ever-changing international situation, the supply and prices of international bulk 316L powder are still very uncertain.

About 3D Printing Stainless Steel SS316L Powder:
316 stainless steel has more carbon in it than 316L. This is easy to remember, as the L stands for "low." But even though it has less carbon, 316L is very similar to 316 in almost every way. Cost is very similar, and both are durable, corrosion-resistant, and a good choice for high-stress situations.
In addition to chromium and nickel, these alloys contain molybdenum, which also makes them more corrosion resistant. Even greater corrosion resistance is delivered by 317L, in which molybdenum content increases to 3 to 4% from the 2 to 3% found in 316 and 316L.
Iron-base alloys containing different sufficient CHROMIUM to form a stable passive film on the surface.
10.5% is the qualifying concentration of Cr for an alloy to be called Stainless Steel.
316L stainless steel has excellent resistance to corrosion; High toughness and good ductility; Moderate strength, hardenable by cold work; High resistance to oxidation at elevated temperature; Low thermal conductivity; High coefficient of thermal expansion; Non-magnetic Not heat treatable; 316L stainless steel is the molybdenum that enhances corrosion resistance in environments rich in salt air and chloride - giving 316L the moniker of “marine grade” stainless steel. As long as the invisible film - or passive layer - remains intact, the metal remains stain-less and corrosion-resistant.

How is 3D Printing Stainless Steel SS316L Powder produced?
Type 316 steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing 2% to 3% molybdenum. The molybdenum content improves corrosion resistance, resistance to pitting in chloride ion solutions, and high-temperature strength.
Stainless steel 3D printing is produced by melting or laser sintering. There are two possible technologies for this material: DMLS and SLM. At Sculpteo, we use DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) technology, which is a laser sintering technology on EOS M280 machines for printing stainless steel.
 
Applications of 3D Printing Stainless Steel SS316L Powder:
Like aluminum and titanium, stainless steel can be used to 3D print complex designs that are normally impossible to accomplish. It can also produce large objects, owing to its strength. Thanks to 3D printing technology, stainless steel is soon to be put into even more uses.
As with traditional stainless steel, 3D-printed stainless steels find applications in a wide range of areas include:
Jewelry.
Tools.
Construction applications.
Dental caps.
Metal implants.
Industrial applications – designing functional components.
Decorative models like statues, medals and keys.
Military applications.

Storage Condition of Stainless Steel SS316L Powder:
Damp reunion will affect SS316L powder dispersion performance and using effects, therefore, stainless steel SS316L powder should be sealed in vacuum packing and stored in cool and dry room, the stainless steel SS316L powder can not be exposure to air. In addition, the stainless steel SS316L powder should be avoided under stress.

Packing & Shipping of Stainless Steel SS316L Powder:
We have many different kinds of packing which depends on the stainless steel SS316L powder quantity.
Stainless steel SS316L powder packing:vacuum packing, 100g, 500g or 1kg/bag, 25kg/barrel, or as your request.
Stainless steel SS316L powder shipping:could be shipped out by sea , by air, by express?as soon as possible once payment receipt.
