GMP® 316L™ from Globus Metal Powders is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel powder engineered for excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical performance, and chemical stability. Produced via argon inert gas atomisation, this powder features ultra-low oxygen content, tightly controlled minor elements, and optimised spherical particle morphology, making it ideal for PM-HIP, additive manufacturing (AM), metal injection moulding (MIM), and thermal spray applications.
316L™ is widely used in marine, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food-processing industries, where components are exposed to corrosive environments, elevated temperatures, and cyclic loading. Its low carbon content minimises sensitisation and intergranular corrosion, ensuring long-term durability and component reliability.
Compared to other powders in the Globus portfolio:
GMP® ultra-low oxygen powders with tightly controlled minor elements reduce oxide inclusions and internal voids, essential for consistent PM-HIP densification and defect-free additive manufacturing builds. The spherical particle morphology and optimised particle size distribution (PSD) ensure predictable flow, uniform packing, and reliable layer deposition for high-performance components.
Whether you require ultra-low oxygen grades, bespoke particle size distributions or high-volume supply, our team is ready to support your requirements.
