Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH is a metal filament, made for the creation of metal components in 17-4 PH stainless steel, using the FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printing technology.
This 17-4 PH stainless steel can be fully heat treated to high levels of strength and hardness. The final properties of this metal material are obtained through a catalytic debinding and sintering process known from traditional Metal Injection Molding. This Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH material is characterized by its impressive strength. It is also one of the most affordable materials for metal 3D printing.
17-4 PH and 316L are among the most used stainless steel materials, however, these two materials present different properties regarding their tensile strength, yield strength, elongation at break, and hardness :
