  • 17-4PH stainless steel 3D printing metal material for additive manufacturing — high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal for precision 3D printed components.

    Stainless Steel 17-4PH

    Process: SLM

    Corrosion Resistance, HighStrength, Wear Resistant

    17-4 PH stainless steel is a precipitation-hardening stainless steel known for its excellent hardness and corrosion resistance. Through vacuum solution heat treatment and H900 aging treatment, printed parts can achieve high strength, high hardness, and good wear resistance. 17-4 PH stainless steel is suitable for manufacturing industrial components that require high strength, corrosion resistance, and complex structures, such as aerospace parts, molds, and high-load machinery.
    Disadvantages: Low elongation (≤16% after heat treatment); weak magnetism after heat treatment.

  • SS316L stainless steel 3D printing metal material for additive manufacturing — corrosion-resistant, high-strength metal for precision 3D printed components.

    Stainless Steel 316L

    Process: SLM

    Durability, Corrosion Resistance, Strength

    Stainless steel 316L offers excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance. It combines good mechanical strength and toughness, making it a reliable material for manufacturing acid- and corrosion-resistant components. Thanks to its outstanding corrosion resistance and its suitability as a medical- and food-grade material, it is widely used in aerospace, prototypes, tooling, and medical applications. Finished parts are typically shot-peened for surface treatment. If you require any other post-processing, please inform our customer service clearly.
    Disadvantages: Poor heat resistance (maximum 120°C); surface roughness around Ra10, with slight pits and visible layer texture.
