Stainless Steel 15-5PH

(EOS SS PH1)

Material Specification

stainless steel in fine powder form. Its composition corresponds to US classification 15-5PH and European 1.4540 and fulfils the requirements of AMS 5659 for Mn, Mo, Ni, Si, C, Cr and Cu. This kind of steel is characterized by having very good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, especially in the precipitation hardened state. It is widely used in a variety of medical, aerospace and other engineering applications requiring high hardness, strength and corrosion resistance. This material is ideal for many part-building applications (DirectPart) such as functional metal prototypes, small series products, individualised products or spare parts. Standard processing parameters use full melting of the entire geometry with 20m layer thickness, but it is also possible to use 40m layer thickness to increase the build speed. Using standard parameters the mechanical properties are fairly uniform in all directions. Parts made from EOS StainlessSteel PH1 can be machined, spark-eroded, welded, micro shot-peened, polished and coated if required. Unexposed powder can be re-used.

Typical applications: Engineering applications including functional prototypes, small series products, individualised products or spare parts.
Parts requiring high corrosion resistance, sterilisability, etc. Parts requiring particularly high hardness and strength.
