Our standard portfolio of Stainless Steels

MET 1.4306

Base: Fe
Material Class: Stainless Steels
Name: 1.4306
Alternative Name: 304L

Material Properties:

MET 1.4306 is a stainless austenitic chromium-nickel steel with a low carbon content (<0,030%). The higher content of chromium and nickel results in increased corrosion resistance than 1.4301 or 1.4307. This steel is used mainly in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. A high gloss surface finish can be achieved.

Powder Production Method

At Metalpine, we use Inert Gas Atomization under Argon 5.0 atmosphere, including sieving and sifting.

With our proprietary atomization process, we are able to provide the highest quality stainless steel powders in various particle size distributions.

Within our portfolio, we cover the most requested stainless steels for standard additive manufacturing applications, 304L and 316L. Depending on the desired material behavior and chemical composition, our customers can choose between our products MET-1.4306, MET-1.4404 and 1.4435. Other iron based alloy might be available on request, depending on availability of the required pre-material. For further information, check out the specific product pages of each alloy of your interest, or contact us directly for your inquiry.

Powders are available in various particle size distributions (PSD)

Any metal or alloy can be atomized with our proprietary process, according to your needs. All products can be produced in narrow particle size distributions.
