Description: Precipitation hardening steels are widely used in engineering applications, which require corrosion resistance and strength. Parts built from EOS StainlessSteel 17-4PH can be machined, shot-peened and polished in as-built or heat treated states. Solution annealing together with ageing treatment are necessary in order to achieve proper hardness and mechanical properties (ASTM A564 – 13). Due to the layerwise building method, the parts have a certain anisotropy which can be eased by solution annealing.Information provided by EOS GmbH (Electro Optical Systems). |
