AdamIQ H13

UNS T20813 | AISI H13 DIN X40CrMoV5-1 | W. Nr 1.2344

AdamIQ™ H13 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.
Made from 100% recycled steel and renewable energy. Spherical, with high flowability and low level of impurities.

Tool Steel H13 is a hot work steel alloy that contains a combination of Cr, Mo, and V. It is widely used in applications such as pressure die casting, extrusion, forging, and stamping due to its excellent wear resistance, high hardenability, high toughness and good thermal shock resistance. H13 GA is a nitrogen gas atomized powder for additive manufacturing.

However, H13 has challenging weldability where micro-cracking can occur, dependent on pre-heating, chemistry, print layout, etc. Minimum hardness according to ASTM A681- 08 is 52 HRC.

Packaging and handling recommendations

- Recycled and recyclable drum from CurTec (minimum 2.9 L / 10 kg). Sealed, includes desiccant bag.
- Big bag solutions available on demand.

Ensure that you store the product in its original container in a dry area. Before using, gently tumble to prevent any segregation. If you have opened containers, it is recommended to store them in a drying oven or a controlled environment with low humidity to prevent any moisture pick up.
