434 Stainless Steel Powder Description
434 Stainless Steel Powder is a low-carbon ferritic steel powder engineered for enhanced corrosion resistance. Primarily employed in applications demanding moderate corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and excellent formability, it falls short of the corrosion resistance levels observed in certain other stainless steel grades, notably the 300 series (e.g., 304 or 316 stainless steel).
Produced through Inert Gas Atomization (IGA), this metal powder adopts a spherical morphology, ensuring favorable flow characteristics and high packing density.
