Near wrought strength

3D printed 17-4 PH stainless steel exceeds MIM standards and reaches 95% wrought strength under equal heat treatment. 17-4 PH Stainless Steel is a hard, stiff, and corrosion resistant stainless steel. It excels in manufacturing environments and as low volume parts.

Tool steel optimized for high temperature and wear applications

Markforged printed and heat-treated H13 tool steel effectively matches wrought heat-treated H13 in strength and hardness. H13 works excellently in high temperature and can withstand drastic cooling. This, coupled with abrasion resistance and machinability makes it ideal for molds and wear resistant pieces.

General purpose tool steel for cold-working applications

Markforged printed and heat treated A2 tool steel effectively matches wrought heat-treated A2 in hardness. A2 tool steel is a highly versatile air-hardening tool steel often regarded as a “universal” cold work steel. It offers a combination of good wear resistance (between O1 and D2) and toughness.
