Used for: Debinding and sintering Inconel 718, Stainless Steel 17-4, and Stainless Steel 316L Filamet™.
Key advantages: Antioxidant in the stainless steel sintering process. Steel Blend can be reused many times. Steel Blend changes color to a pale yellow-orange color.
Particle Size: Submicron to 100 mesh
Max Temperature: 1600°C
How To Use: Use this refractory ballast to bury prints in a crucible for debinding and sintering. Cover with Sintering Carbon, then place the crucible in the kiln and start the program. Full instructions can be found here.
