Four new EOS metal materials open up new application possibilities. 
Comprehensive data on the material properties provide transparency and 
standards for production. 

EOS, the world's leading technology supplier in the field of Industrial 3D 
printing of metals and polymers, presents the four new metal materials EOS 
StainlessSteel CX, EOS Aluminium AlF357, EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 5, and EOS 
Titanium Ti64 Grade 23. They are tailored to suit a broad array of 
applications, ranging from automotive to medical applications.

Decades of material expertise at EOS

Hannes Gostner, Director Research and Development, EOS says: "At EOS, the 
development of systems, materials, process parameters, software, and services 
have always gone hand in hand. All of the elements are perfectly aligned to 
each other. The result is reproducible high-quality parts at a competitive cost 
per part. This combination is of crucial importance, particularly for series 
manufacturing."

The new metal materials in detail

EOS StainlessSteel CX is a new tooling grade steel developed for production 
with the EOS M 290 that combines excellent corrosion resistance with high 
strength and hardness. Components made from this material are easy to machine 
and enable an excellent polished finish.

EOS Aluminum AlF357 is the ideal material for applications that require a light 
metal with excellent mechanical/thermal strength. Components made from this 
material are characterized by their light weight, corrosion resistance and high 
dynamic loading. EOS Aluminum AlF357 has been specially developed for 
production with the EOS M 400, but it is planned to also make the material 
available for the EOS M 290 system in the near future.

EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 5 has been specially developed for its high fatigue 
strength without hot isostatic pressing (HIP). Suitable for production with the 
EOS M 290, the material also offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it 
ideal for aerospace and automotive applications.

EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 23 has also been specially developed for its high 
fatigue strength without hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and for production with 
the EOS M 290. Compared to Ti64, Ti64 Grade 23 offers improved elongation and 
fracture toughness with slightly lower strength. Thanks to these properties, it 
is particularly well suited to medical applications.
