Printdur® HSA is a nickel-free, high-strength austenitic steel, specially developed for Additive Manufacturing. The processing properties by AM are similar to those of standard steel 316L, but Printdur® HSA achieves twice the yield strength and tensile strength as well as improved resistance to pitting corrosion. This opens up a wide range of application possibilities with only one alloy.
The advantages of Printdur® HSA at a glance
- Good processability with LPBF
- Nickel free and thus significantly reduced safety regulations during powder processing
- High yield strength, tensile strength and hardness
- Very high corrosion resistance (PREN = 36)
- High tendency to work hardening
- Very good resistance to cavitation
- Optional increase of toughness through subsequent heat treatment
- Various application possibilities
