Desktop Metal today announced it has qualified the use of 316L stainless steel for the Shop System™, the world’s first metal binder jetting system designed for machine shops.

Grade 316 is an austenitic grade second only to 304 in commercial importance. 316 stainless steel has improved corrosion resistance particularly for pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride ... 316L ...

Now, by 3D printing in 316L stainless steel, ring splints can be custom-printed, on-demand to the desired size, with the added benefit of an aesthetic finish and increased durability.

How Does 445M2 Stainless Steel Differ from 316 Stainless Steel. Unlike 316, 445M2 has a ferritic microstructure, and a higher content of the corrosion resisting element, ... Marine grade 445M2 is ...

Thin plates of 3D-printed 316L steel were tested for both strength and ductility. Deformation in metals is mainly controlled by how nanoscale defects move and interact in the microstructure.

Stainless steel is not all created equal. The vast majority of watches use what is called 316L steel, and it does its job well. Rolex, on the other hand, famously uses a “special” alloy called ...
