Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing (BJAM) Produced Parts, Steel, 1.0Cr – 0.20Mo – 0.30C, As-Sintered (Composition Similar to UNS G41300)
AMS7048
Parts made using Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing (BJAM) using 4130 steel powder that is used in the as-sintered condition for medium strength and weldability
Rationale: In order for aerospace and defense to fully exploit the potential of additive manufacturing, low-cost, medium-strength, weldable steel parts made using binder jet additive manufacturing (BJAM) is needed. The composition of 4130 steel in the as-sintered condition meet this requirement. It is necessary to have an AMS material specification to control the composition, processing, inspection, and properties of the hardware.
