Is it possible to thermally blue HD stainless steel?

Hi, i’m going to get a piece printed in high detail stainless steel and i was wondering if it would be possible to thermally blue the stainless after i get it? (i.e. if i heat it with a blowtorch will it perform like any other stainless steel?) cause I nee the high quality and metallic properties of the stainless but really want the aesthetic of it being thermally blued and i don’t think power coating or the like will work for my use case.

Thanks, James

Hi James,
High detail stainless steel is 100% 316L stainless steel, so it will react to your blowtorch like any other 316L stainless steel parts.

Brilliant! Thanks, thought it may. i think i’ll add a little extra bit to my model to act as a test just in case :slight_smile:
