Desktop Metal 17-4PH Stainless Steel (Shop System) is that maker's grade of 17-4PH precipitation-hardening stainless steel printed by metal binder jetting, here heat-treated. Parts are printed as unsupported green bodies of bound powder, then debound and sintered. They shrink substantially and end with a little residual porosity but without the residual stress of laser melting. Solution treatment and aging after sintering precipitate copper-rich particles in the martensite, raising strength and hardness over the as-sintered state. Typical uses are small, complex functional parts made in batches, such as machine components, tooling and fixtures. Every value on this page is read from Desktop Metal's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
