AdamIQ 430L
UNS S43000 | AISI 430L
- AdamIQ 430L
AdamIQ™ 430L is a robust feedstock for any laser powder bed fusion machine (L-PBF). The “general purpose” powder suitable for the widest range of applications, across multiple industries. Maximise your printer’s uptime by keeping it loaded and running with this versatile powder
Made from 100% recycled steel and renewable energy. Spherical, with high flowability and low level of impurities.
Low-carbon ferritic stainless steels, exemplified by Type 430L alloys, offer corrosion resistance similar to some nickel stainless steels in mildly corrosive environments. With a chromium content of 17%, the 430L steel alloys demonstrate good corrosion resistance to atmospheric conditions and elevated temperatures.
