STEEL 17-4 PH

STEEL 174 PH, also known as Type 630 precipitation-hardening stainless steel, is a premium-grade alloy widely used in metal 3D printing for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. At LAYERX, we specialize in industrial 3D printing services in Dubai using STEEL 174 PH to manufacture functional prototypes, high-strength end-use parts, and low-volume production components.

This stainless steel alloy is ideal for load-bearing 3D printed parts, marine-grade fixtures, and heat-treated aerospace tooling, offering excellent mechanical performance and thermal stability. With high precision metal 3D printing technologies such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM), we achieve tight tolerances, smooth surface finishes, and dimensional accuracy for mission-critical applications.

STEEL 174 PH is preferred in stainless steel additive manufacturing due to its high tensile strength, impact resistance, and precipitation-hardening capabilities, allowing tailored post-processing and parametric tuning. It is also a sustainable 3D printing material, fully recyclable, and compliant with AMS 5622 and ASTM A564 certifications, making it ideal for custom 3D printed metal parts in the UAE, GCC, and global markets.
