316L SS
316L Stainless Steel
Austenitic stainless steel — LPBF printed, fully dense
Mechanical Properties
Tested on as-built LPBF specimens printed on our machine with default 316L parameters. All values represent average results from tensile testing.
| Property | Value | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Yield Strength (0.2% offset) | 570 MPa | As-Built |
| Ultimate Tensile Strength | 730 MPa | As-Built |
| Elongation at Break | — | As-Built |
| Elastic Modulus | 186 GPa | As-Built |
| Hardness | — | As-Built |
Values are representative of horizontal (XY) build orientation. Vertical (Z) strength may vary by ±5%. Full data sheets available on request.
