AdamIQ™ 17-4PH
AISI 17-4PH | W. Nr 1.4542 | DIN X5CrNiCuNb16-4 | UNS S17400
- AdamIQ™ 17-4PH
Premium stainless-steel powder, AdamIQ™ 17-4PH offers high strength and durability with excellent corrosion resistance. Perfectly suited to be printed in any powder bed fusion machine (L-PBF, SLM). The final end-use properties and hardness can be fine-tuned in post-printing heat treatments.
Made from 100% recycled steel and renewable energy. Spherical, with high flowability and low level of impurities.
This great blend of properties makes it an excellent candidate for the widest possible range of applications, especially at elevated in-use-temperatures, up to 300°C (572°F), including rapid tooling functional components in nearly every market.
Additionally, 17-4 PH is widely used in environments where a level of corrosion resistance comparable to that of the austenitic grades is needed, but in applications that require higher strength and hardness than the austenitic grades can provide.
A version that meets aerospace standard is available.
