A new ASTM International standard will help manufacturers and buyers who want to use 3D-printed stainless steel alloys, which can be made more quickly than through traditional methods. This new specification describes chemical and mechanical requirements – as well as other properties – of additively manufactured parts made from 316L (UNS 31603), which is a widely used grade of stainless steel. “…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Amir Farzadfar, Ph.D. Corning Inc., Corning, N.Y., tel +1.515.664.7971; farzadfaa@corning.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Mohsen Seifi, tel +1.610.832.9511 mseifi@astm.org Release #10175
