The newly developed, patent pending, BÖHLER E185 AMPO is an AM powder, fulfilling the highest demands from various industries, ranging from motorsport to engineering components and any kind of prototype applications. This low alloyed steel with easy printability and the possibility for surface treatments (e.g. case hardening or nitriding) was developed especially for the demands of the 3D printing industry. The material shows an excellent combination of strength and toughness.

BÖHLER L625 AMPO is a non-magnetic, corrosion and scale-resistant nickel-base alloy. High toughness and strength from the lowest temperatures up to 1000 °C. Good printability.

The BÖHLER L718 AMPO is a hardenable nickel-base super alloy. This high heat-resistant material shows good strength properties at elevated temperatures up to 750 ° C, as well as excellent creep resistance up to 700 ° C. In addition, it shows excellent corrosion resistance and good printability. Essentially, the same properties can be achieved with printed components made from this powder as with bar material.

The BÖHLER L718 API AMPO is a hardenable nickel-base super alloy. This high heat-resistant material shows good strength properties at elevated temperatures up to 750 ° C, as well as excellent creep resistance up to 700 ° C. In addition, it shows excellent corrosion resistance and good printability. Essentially, the same properties can be achieved with printed components made from this powder as with bar material.

BÖHLER N700 is a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire and forgings in the solution-annealed condition. It is a martensitic, precipitation-hardenable chromium-nickel-copper steel with high strength and toughness. Further increases in strength can be achieved by cold forming and subsequent precipitation hardening. These products are typically used for parts that require higher corrosion resistance than the usual 13% or 17% chromium steels and high strength up to 316 °C. However, their use is not limited to such applications. Remelting processes are used to improve steel purity and homogeneity. (ESR, PESR, VAR) Certain processing methods and operating conditions can make these products susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. For applications such as bolting where stress corrosion cracking is possible, the product should be aged for at least 4 hours at the highest temperature compatible with the strength requirements, but in no case lower than 552 °C. Typical applications for reactor construction and highly stressed pump parts, springs and ship shafts.

BÖHLER N700 AMPO (17-4 PH) is a precipitation hardening nickel martensitic steel. Thanks to its alloying system, this material has excellent corrosion resistance. Can be printed very easily without additional heating of the platform or chamber and, after solution annealing and aging, hardens up to approx. 40 HRC.
