Uniformity Labs Delivers Low-Porosity 316L and 17-4 PH Powders
April 8, 2022Comments
Uniformity Labs has announced availability of its ultra-low
porosity 316L and 17-4 PH stainless-steel powders, a high-throughput feedstock
that exhibits best-in-class material properties, according to company officials,
who note that the powders and optimized print processes were previously used successfully
to create various parts in various industries.
These powders reportedly exhibit tap densities to 85 percent and melt to produce parts averaging densities greater than 99.95 percent. Uniformity parameters for 316L and 17-4 PH stainless steel at 50- and 60-µm layer thickness, respectively, reportedly achieve production build rates as much as three times faster for typical complex-geometry additive parts as compared to other high-speed comparable-layer-thickness builds conducted on the same printers with standard powders and comparable finished-part density.
Uniformity expects to release 60- and 90-µm parameters soon that reportedly demonstrate even greater production throughput with comparable mechanical properties.
