AISI 316L
Alloy: Fe/ Ni / Cr
Wire feedstock: AM 316LSi; 3Dprint AM 316L
Summary
AISI 316 belongs to the austenitic stainless steel class. The addition of the alloying elements brings high corrosion resistance by the formation of a protective oxide layer on the material surface, with good ductility and thoughness. AISI 316L has lower C content, which improves the resistance to intergranular corrosion. These alloys are widely used in the chemical sector, food and process industry and maritime applications.

General explanation
Printing strategies
Straight lines strategy: several welding beads overlapped next to each other
Oscillation: continuous zig-zag bead that fills the entire layer
Heat treatement
Stress relief: due to the high residual stresses build up in the WAAM product, this heat treatment is necessary to minize residual stresses.
