MIM Stainless Steel 316 Metal Powder for Industrial Applications
High-Quality Gas-Atomized 316 Powder for Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
Product Overview
Our MIM Stainless Steel 316 Metal Powder is specially engineered for Metal Injection Molding (MIM), offering superior flowability, high density, and excellent sintering performance. Produced via argon gas atomization, this powder ensures low oxygen content, high sphericity, and precise particle distribution, making it ideal for complex, high-precision industrial components.
Key Features & Benefits
✔ Ultra-Fine Particle Size (5-25μm) – Optimized for MIM process
✔ High Sphericity (>95%) – Ensures smooth mold filling and uniform sintering
✔ Low Oxygen Content (<500 ppm) – Reduces porosity and improves mechanical properties
✔ Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Ideal for medical, automotive, and chemical applications
✔ Batch-to-Batch Consistency – Reliable quality for industrial production
