Material
BASF® Ultrafuse 17-4 PH Steel
Ultrafuse 17-4 PH produces sintered 17-4 PH stainless steel parts that are strong, magnetic, and corrosion resistant, and can be heat treated to higher strength, though with lower ductility than other metal 3D printing processes.

About
Ultrafuse 17-4 PH is a sintered 17-4 PH stainless steel. Compared with laser-melted 17-4 PH, tensile strength is similar but yield strength and ductility are lower. It is magnetic and keeps its properties up to about 315 °C.
Ultrafuse 17-4 PH is a good option for strong, corrosion-resistant functional parts in petrochemical, aerospace, and automotive applications.
