Edro Engineering and Specialty Steels, an exclusive distributor of Bohler tool steels, highlights Bohler M789 AMPO, a newly developed maraging stainless steel powder designed for additive manufacturing (AM) applications.
Bohler M789 AMPO combines the mechanical properties of maraging 300 steel with the corrosion resistance of 17-4 PH stainless steel. Edro says the patented grade can be easily printed without preheating and can achieve a high hardness of 52 HRC with easy heat treatment. Bohler M789 AMPO also has excellent polishability which makes it the ideal choice for conformal cooling inserts in plastic injection molding and in any other application where high hardness and corrosion resistance is required.
