Powder metallurgy is commonly used to produce small precision parts from 304L at high volumes versus machining. Additive manufacturing utilizes 304L powder for prototypes, tooling, and end-use components across industries. Powder Manufacturing 304L stainless steel powder is commercially manufactured via gas atomization or water atomization processes. In gas atomization, a high pressure inert gas stream disintegrates the molten metal into fine droplets, producing spherical powders ideal for additive manufacturing and MIM. Particle size distribution is controlled through process parameters. Water atomization uses high pressure water jets to break up the metal stream into fine particles. This generates irregular, satellite particle shapes. The powder requires post-treatment for additive manufacturing. Plasma atomization is sometimes used to produce very spherical, clean powders from a metal plasma stream in a controlled inert atmosphere. This ensures high purity and flowability. Powder Specifications 304L stainless steel powder is commercially available in various size ranges, morphologies, and quality levels. Some typical powder specifications are below: Table: 304L stainless steel powder specifications

FAQ 1.What is the difference between 304 and 304L stainless steel powder? 304L has lower carbon content (<0.03%) than 304 (<0.08%) for better corrosion resistance,especially for welding. 304 is more common. 2.Does 304L powder require a controlled atmosphere? Not necessarily, but storage in sealed containers with inert gas prevents oxidation and contamination. 3.What particle size is best for AM? 15-45 microns is typical for powder bed fusion AM to provide good flow and high resolution. Larger sizes from 45-100 microns are also used. 4.Is 304L used for metal 3D printing? Yes, 304L is widely used for powder bed and directed energy deposition 3D printing to make prototypes, tooling, and end-use parts. 5.What causes powder to oxidize and lose reusability? Exposure to air/moisture causes surface oxidation. Proper sealed storage with desiccant and oxygen absorbers prevents this. 6.Does 304L require solution annealing after laser sintering? Yes, stress relieving at 1050-1150°C and rapid cooling helps restore ductility and toughnessafterthe rapid solidification. 7.What finish can be expected on as-sintered MIM 304L parts? Around Ra 3-6 microns initially. Polishing and etching can achieve under 0.5 micron. Plating also gives a smooth finish. 8.What tolerance can be achieved with 304L MIM parts?±0.1-0.3% is typical but tolerances under ±0.1% are possible for high precision components. 9.Why is 304L preferred over 304 stainless steel? The lower carbon gives 304L better corrosion resistance, especially for weldments, reducing sensitization. It has become the dominant grade. 10.What is the cost premium for 304L vs. 304 powder? Typically 10-30% higher cost for 304L due to the lower carbon composition. Price also depends on quantities ordered.
