BASF Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH Filament
BASF Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH Filament
The Filament Enabling Stainless Steel Parts for Applications that Require High Hardness and Mechanical Strength
Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH Filament is an industrial material that makes it easy to produce metal-polymer parts on a desktop 3D printer. It is nearly 100% solid 17-4 PH stainless steel. The stainless steel can be fully heat treated to high levels of strength and hardness. It is therefore ideal for Petrochemistry, Aerospace, Automotive, and Medical Industries. Parts printed with our metal-polymer composite filament Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH obtain their final properties through a catalytic debinding and sintering process known from traditional Metal Injection Molding.
Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH is a filament for the production of metal components in 17-4 stainless steel on standard Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers.
