FAQs
What makes 17-4PH different from other stainless steels?
17-4PH is a precipitation hardening steel that can be heat treated to achieve high strength (up to 1100 MPa) and hardness (HRC 40+) while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance—making it ideal for high-stress applications.
Can I achieve full precipitation hardening properties?
After sintering, additional heat treatment (aging at 480-620°C) can be applied to achieve the full precipitation hardening effect and maximum mechanical properties.
What applications is 17-4PH best suited for?
Aerospace components, marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, high-strength fasteners, pump shafts, valves, and any application requiring the combination of high strength and corrosion resistance.
How does the corrosion resistance compare to 316L?
17-4PH offers superior strength and hardness while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance, though 316L may have slightly better resistance to certain corrosive environments. 17-4PH is preferred where both strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
What safety precautions are necessary?
Use in well-ventilated areas, wear FFP2 masks and safety glasses. The raw powder form is hazardous, but the filament is not classified as dangerous when handled properly.
What design limitations should I consider?
Similar to other Zetamix metals: maximum printed size ~200mm, minimum wall: 1mm, minimum feature: 1.5mm. Follow design guide recommendations for successful sintering.
How long does the complete process take?
Printing varies by model. Chemical debinding takes 24h + 2h drying, thermal debinding ~60h, and sintering ~28h including ramp times and holding.
Can I create food-safe or medical components?
The sintered 17-4PH has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used in food processing applications. For medical implants, additional certification and testing would be required.
What post-processing options are available?
Sintered parts can be machined, polished, and most importantly, precipitation hardened through heat treatment to achieve specific mechanical properties.
What’s the shelf life and storage requirements?
One-year shelf life when stored in original vacuum-sealed packaging in cool, dry conditions.

Watch how Zetamix ceramic and metal filaments go from spool to dense, sintered part — the same FFF print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house.
Choose your Zetamix material
Every Zetamix filament prints on a standard FFF 3D printer — we print and validate them in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T. system — then debind and sinter to a dense ceramic or metal part. The highlighted row is the material on this page; compare the range below:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alumina | Technical ceramic | Electrical insulation, ~1550°C | Insulators, high-temp tooling | $495 |
| White Zirconia | Technical ceramic | Toughness & flexural strength | Wear & structural parts | $485 |
| Black Zirconia | Technical ceramic | Zirconia strength, black finish | Aesthetic + technical parts | $550 |
| Silicon Carbide | Technical ceramic | Extreme hardness & thermal | Abrasive / high-temp parts | $550 |
| Porcelain | Ceramic (art) | Glazeable, classic finish | Art, tableware, decorative | $225 |
| 316L | Stainless steel | Corrosion resistance, ductile | Functional metal parts | $420 |
| 17-4 PH | Stainless steel | High strength, hardenable | Tooling & functional parts | $420 |
| H13 | Tool steel | Hot hardness & wear | Dies, inserts, tooling | $420 |
| TiO2 | Specialty ceramic | Specialty technical ceramic | Niche functional parts | $550 |
