| STX 316L MIM - LA | 7,93 | 16,7 | 0,8 | >180 | >510 | >50 |
| STX 316L MIM - LC | 7,93 | 16,7 | 0,8 | >180 | >510 | >50 |
| STX 316L MIM - LG | 7,95 | 16,7 | 0,6 | >180 | >510 | >50 |
| STX 316L MIM - LW | 7,87 | 16,7 | 1,1 | >180 | >510 | >50 |
LA = Master alloy, gives high surface definition
LC = Same as LA, but with coarser powder (more economic)
LG = Standard grade, pre-alloy
LW = Standard grade, water atomized metal powder
Please notice: It is not possible to directly attribute all the results to specific components, as parameters such as powder flow, component size and geometry can have an effect on the properties of the individual components. Please contact Sintex technical experts for more information before using the data and results.
