HOW CHROMIUM IN STAINLESS STEEL COMPOSITION IMPROVES STRENGTH AND DURABILITY

Dr. Marcus Li

Throughout my research on metal powder characterization and alloy composition both during my doctoral studies at Tsinghua and in subsequent industrial additive manufacturing applications, I have consistently seen engineers treat the 10.5% chromium threshold as a routine checkbox in alloy specifications. However, viewing chromium as merely a baseline requirement overlooks the subtle, active physics occurring […]
