Ultrafuse
®
17-4 PH
The Filament Enabling Stainless Steel Parts for Applications that Require High Hardness and
Mechanical Strength
Ultrafuse
®
17-4 PH is a filament for the production of metal components on standard Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
printers. Also referred to as Type 630, this chromium-copper martensitic precipitation hardened stainless steel it is both
magnetic and fully heat treatable to high levels of strength and hardness. Maintaining its mechanical and corrosion resis-
tance at temperatures up to 315 °C (600 °F), 17-4 PH parts are ideal for the Petrochemical, Aerospace, Automotive, and
Medical industries. Parts printed with our metal-polymer composite Ultrafuse
®
17-4 PH filament obtain their final full metal
properties via an industrially proven catalytic debinding and sintering process developed for the metal injection molding
industry.
