Data was generated from testing of parts produced with the LaserForm ST-100 powder under typical processing conditions (New materials processed at 35 watts laser power, 380cm/sec scan speed, 0.075 mm layer thickness on a Sinterstation® 2500plus system and then debinded, sintered and bronze infiltrated in an oven.)  Final composition is approximately 40% bronze and 60% 420 stainless steel.
