MS05 316L Stainless Steel Filament, 500g

Description

316L Stainless Steel is a versatile material, making it a prime choice for jigs, fixtures, and a wide range of internal tooling applications. Zetamix 316L is more resistant to impact than ceramic, it also resists corrosion and wear.

Advantages:

• High density
• Tooling
• Impact resistant
• Excellent thermal conductivity

Filament Storage
It is very important to protect the filament from moisture and moist air to keep the print quality. Always store the filament in the heated chamber, vacuum sealed (with desiccant), or in a dry-box.

1. Print Settings
Select ZYYX – 316L Stainless Steel in Simplify3D. The model needs to be scaled up to 118.2% in x+y and 117.2% in z to compensate for sintering shrinkage.
If used with other printers, we recommend 120-130 °C for printing, a 40 °C heated chamber, flex bed, a hardened nozzle, and hardened dual-sided drive gears.

2. Chemical Debinding
24 hours in an acetone bath at 40°C (it depends on the geometry of the part), stop the heat a couple of hours before removing it from the bath (when the mass loss is over 4%).
Finally 2 hours drying in ambient atmosphere.

3. Thermal Debinding
Under Argon/H₂ or N₂ atmosphere, heating from 50°C to 650°C with a 10 °C/h ramp, 2 hours holding time.

4. Sintering
In a high temperature furnace in Argon/H₂ or N₂ atmosphere, heating up to 1350°C with a 50°C/h ramp. 2 hours holding time. Cooling 100°C/h.
