In this work, 17-4PH stainless steel parts processed in a Plasma Assisted Debinding and Sintering (PADS) furnace were characterised in terms of microstructure, final density, microhardness, carbon content and tensile behaviour. To determine whether these properties were satisfactory, the same characterisation procedure was conducted on the parts processed by conventional batch furnaces that are normally employed in Metal Injection Moulding industrial plants. The properties were in good agreement, and only slight differences like an extremely low carbon content (0.003% w/o) were observed. It has been seen that not only economical advances but also intricate materials with suitable responses may be obtained using PADS.
