Firstly, a big hello, this is my first post.

I have a question about the binder jetting stainless steel. Regardering the tech specs in data sheets, is a metal with arround 140 GPa of young modulus and arround 250-300 MPa of elastic limit. In the other hand, some manufacturers says that is not ok for structures so… what is the problem?

My idea is to design a bicycle frame made of carbon fiber tubes and stainless steel lugs. As the binder jetting is cheaper than other 3D print metal technologies, is a good alternative for traditional cast made lugs for the design flexibility.

So, my question is:

It’s a good option for the lugs?

Anyone has a more advanced specs for binder jetting stainless steel? Like Re Ru elongation at break and fatigue courves? I usually find E, Re and elongation at brake but not the others or direction impact specs.

Regards
