About X1 Metal 420i for Binder Jet 3D Printing

X1 Metal 420i (Stainless Steel Infiltrated with Bronze) is a matrix metal composite material composed of 60% 420 stainless steel and 40% bronze infiltrant. This material offers good mechanical properties and offers excellent wear resistance. 95%+ density.

Applications for X1 420i Metal 3D Printing

This material system is ideally suited for parts exposed to highly abrasive environments such as pump components, and parts for down-hole drilling and mining equipment. Additional applications include industrial components, molds, tooling, art objects, and decorative hardware.

Surface Finish

  • After sintering: ≈ 600 μin Ra  (15 μm Ra )
  • Bead blasting: ≈ 300 μin Ra  (7.5 μm Ra )
  • Barrel finishing: ≈ 50 μin Ra  (1.25 μm Ra )

Post Processing

After printing is complete, the parts are cured in an oven, which enables the parts to be handled. After curing, the parts are sintered and infiltrated with bronze above 1100°C. Cool down can be varied to control the machinability and hardness of the material.
