316L Stainless Steel Powder Description
316L Stainless Steel Powder is a low-carbon version of 316 stainless steel powder. It is composed primarily of iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and small amounts of other elements. After 304 stainless steel, it is the second most popular stainless steel. Unlike 304, 316L has a small amount of Mo which belongs to the refractory metal group. 316L stainless steel powder shows better corrosion resistance and performance than 304 stainless steel powder. 316L Stainless Steel Powder is widely used in various industries for its superior performance and versatility.
