What your process engineer actually checks

Green part to fully dense, predictably

Every spool ships with a datasheet and validated debind/sinter parameters, so green parts reach target density with predictable shrinkage. Lock the cycle once, reorder the same feedstock.

About this product

Zetamix 17-4 PH stainless steel filament lets you 3D-print precipitation-hardening stainless steel on a standard FFF printer, then debind and sinter to a dense metal part — the same print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T. With heat treatment it reaches HRC 40+ and tensile strength comparable to wrought 17-4 PH, at ~92% metal content by mass.

Zetamix 17-4 PH stainless steel filament spool, 500 g
Zetamix 17-4 PH stainless steel filament — 1.75 mm, 500 g spool. Print on a standard FFF machine, then debind and sinter to a dense metal part.

Why engineers choose Zetamix 17-4 PH Stainless Steel filament

Precipitation-hardening stainless steel you print on a standard FFF machine — strength and hardness of wrought 17-4 PH after sintering and heat treatment.

Precipitation-hardenable (HRC 40+)

After sintering and a precipitation heat treatment, parts reach HRC 40+ for wear-facing and load-bearing service.

High strength & hardness

Tensile strength comparable to wrought 17-4 PH with heat treatment, at ~92% metal content by mass.

Corrosion resistant

Stable in marine and chemical environments — holds mechanical properties in aggressive, high-stress conditions.

Repeatable sintered metal parts

Predictable 118.2% / 117.2% shrinkage and a fixed debind-and-sinter cycle give repeatable dimensions and properties.

17-4 PH stainless steel filament properties after sintering

  • Composition: precipitation-hardening stainless steel, ~92% metal by mass
  • Density after sintering: >90% of theoretical
  • Tensile strength: comparable to wrought 17-4 PH (with heat treatment)
  • Hardness: precipitation-hardenable to HRC 40+ with heat treatment
  • Corrosion resistance: marine and chemical environments
  • Linear shrinkage: scale the model by 118.2% (X/Y) and 117.2% (Z)
  • Filament: 1.75 mm · 500 g spool

Full specifications are listed in the Specifications tab. Mechanical values are process-dependent — final properties vary with print, debind, sinter and heat-treat parameters.

From spool to dense metal part

Three stages — the same workflow we run in-house.

Step 01

Design & scale

Scale the model by 118.2% (X/Y) and 117.2% (Z) for sintering shrinkage. Minimum wall 1 mm, minimum feature 1.5 mm, maximum unsupported overhang 35°.

Step 02

Print on FFF

Print the green part on any standard FFF machine with a grooved drive gear and flexible build plate. 3 wall layers, 20–100% infill, 100% fan from the second layer.

Step 03

Debind, sinter & heat-treat

Chemical debind 24 h in acetone at 40 °C, thermal debind 10 °C/h from 50 to 650 °C in Ar/H₂, then sinter 50 °C/h to 1350 °C with a 2 h hold (0.5 LPM at 0.2 bar). Precipitation heat-treat to HRC 40+. No furnace? We run this for you.

Common questions

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.
