Ametek P316L P/M Stainless Steel, Sintered from 6.30 g/cc Green Density

P316L offers a very high degree of corrosion protection for a standard P/M stainless steel grade. It provides excellent strength at extremely high temperatures. Key materials benefits of P316L include enhanced compressibility, and green strength, which is approximately 40% higher than comparables induction melted materials.For property data reported here: Compacting properties measured on powders with 1% lithium stearate. Sintering was done in dissociated ammonia at 1121°C (2050°F) for 45 minutes. Sintering in hydrogen vs. ammonia reduces strength and increases elongation. Compacting pressure 40 tsi. Green strength 700 psi. Sintered breaking strength 103,000 psi.Information provided by Ametek Specialty Metal Products.
