PowderRange® 304L

PowderRange® 304L is a low carbon, austenitic stainless steel that exhibits a high strength-to-weight ratio and generally good corrosion resistance, especially intergranular corrosion. It has excellent weldability in laser and electron-beam additive manufacturing processes and can be processed in either argon or nitrogen shielding gas.

PowderRange® 304L cannot be strengthened through post processing heat treatments but can be solution annealed to improve corrosion resistance. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition. Post processing can include traditional machining, abrasive flow machining, shot-peening, grinding, polishing, chemical milling/etching, and other methods.
