AdamIQ M300
AISI 18Ni300 | W. Nr 1.2709 | DIN X3NiCoMoTi 18-9-5 | UNS K93120
- AdamIQ M300
Our M300 maraging steel is the right “tooling purpose” powder for applications that need to balance printability, hardness and toughness. This alloy is typically used in inserts for conformal-cooling of molds in Hot Stamping, Plastic Injection Molding, High Pressure Die Casting.
Made from 100% recycled steel and renewable energy. Spherical, with high flowability and low level of impurities.
M300 is a maraging steel that offers superior strength, hardness, and toughness, making it an excellent choice for high-performance applications. Its unique strengthening mechanisms, easy heat-treatability, and suitability for additive manufacturing processes make it a top choice for tooling, molding, aerospace, and automotive components.
After undergoing a simple thermal aging heat treatment, the built parts can achieve remarkable characteristics, including hardness higher than 50 HRC and yield strength around 2.000 MPa with excellent toughness. Moreover, the material boasts exceptional machinability to achieve required tolerances and finish. It can maintain its outstanding features even when exposed to mildly elevated temperatures of up to approximately 400 °C (752 °F).
