Stainless steel, as a conventional material for 3D printing, is commonly used in direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) or selective laser sintering (SLM) processes. The most commonly used stainless steels are 17-4ph and 316L. Stainless steel 3D printing services are Metrixal's commonly used metal 3D printing solutions.

Why do our clients choose Metrixal
There are currently three main types of stainless steel used for metal 3D printing: austenitic stainless steel 316L, martensitic stainless steel 15-5PH, and martensitic stainless steel 17-4PH
1. Austenitic stainless steel 316L has high strength, corrosion resistance, and can be lowered to low temperatures over a wide temperature range. Austenitic stainless steel 316L can be used in engineering applications such as aerospace and petrochemicals, as well as in food processing and medical fields.
2. Martensitic stainless steel 15-5PH, also known as martensitic aging (precipitation hardening) stainless steel, has the characteristics of high strength, good toughness, corrosion resistance, further hardening, and no ferrite. At present, SS15-5PH is widely used in industries such as aerospace, petrochemicals, chemical engineering, food processing, papermaking, and metal processing.
3. Martensitic stainless steel 17-4PH still has high strength and toughness at 315 ¡æ, and has super strong corrosion resistance. It can bring excellent ductility in laser processing state.
