Ultrafuse 17-4 PH
General information
Components
Polymer and 17-4 PH stainless steel composite filament

Product Description
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 stainlesssteel it is both magnetic and fully heat treatable to high levels of strength and hardness. Maintaining its
mechanical and corrosion resistance at temperatures up to 315 °C (600°F), 17-4 PH parts are ideal for thePetrochemical, 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.
Typical applications are:▪
Tooling▪
Jigs and fixtures▪
Series production▪
Functional parts and prototypes

Delivery form
Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH filament is available in two diameters, 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm, on 3 kg and 1kg spools.
