Forward AM Ultrafuse 17-4 PH Metal

Metal Parts Through FFF 3D Printing

Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH Metal allows users to manufacture true metal parts using filament-based 3D printing. The filament consists of stainless steel powder embedded in a polymer binder, enabling easy printing on conventional FFF systems before post-processing.

High Strength and Corrosion Resistance

Based on 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless steel, the final sintered parts offer an excellent balance of strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. This makes the material well suited for demanding functional applications where mechanical performance and durability are critical.

Suitable for Complex and Functional Components

The filament-based process makes it possible to produce complex shapes, internal channels, and customized designs that are difficult or costly to achieve with traditional metal manufacturing methods. Typical applications include tooling, fixtures, brackets, and mechanical components.

Professional Workflow with Debinding and Sintering

After printing, parts undergo debinding and sintering to remove the binder and densify the metal. This established post-processing workflow results in solid stainless steel components with predictable material properties, making Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH Metal a reliable solution for industrial production and prototyping.
