- Common grades include 316L (excellent corrosion resistance), 17-4 PH (high strength and hardness), 304L (general-purpose use), and 420 (wear resistance). Each grade has specific properties suited for different applications.
- The particle size typically ranges from 15 to 45 micrometers (µm). Spherical particles are preferred for better flowability and packing density.
- Yes, unused powder can often be recycled by sieving and blending with fresh powder. However, excessive reuse can degrade powder quality, so regular testing is recommended.
- Avoid inhalation or skin contact by using gloves, masks, and protective clothing
- Store powders in a dry, airtight container to prevent moisture absorption
- Handle powders in a well-ventilated area or under inert gas to minimize explosion risks
