ExOne's 3D Printed 316 Stainless Steel infiltrated with Bronze is a matrix material composed of 60% stainless steel and 40% bronze infiltrant. The lower yield strength of the material enables it to be easily machined and polished.

Applications
This material system has low magnetic properties which makes it particularly useful for applications in the food and medical industries. The copper alloy acts as a natural antibacterial agent making it easy to decontaminate printed parts. Since the matrix material is easy to polish, additional applications exist in bath and kitchen hardware prototypes and low volume production.

Composition
Stainless Steel: Alloy 316
Bronze: 90% Cu / 10% Sn

Machinability
Conventionally machinable

Weldability
Use silicone bronze rod & TIG weld
