AdamIQ™ SAM 1

Post-processing methods include traditional machining, abrasive flow machining, shot peening, grinding, polishing, chemical milling/etching, and others. Parts made from 316L generally have service temperatures of up to 425 °C (800 °F), beyond which chromium carbides precipitate. Maximise your printer’s uptime by keeping it loaded and running with this versatile powder.

This innovative, lean, Cobalt-free maraging steel alloy is engineered to deliver a balanced combination of high strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance through an optimized composition.

Ideal for applications that demand both strength and durability, it avoids the environmental and material challenges associated with traditional high-alloy maraging steels. The alloy forms a martensitic microstructure that achieves excellent mechanical properties as-built, making it particularly suitable for high-performance tooling, conformal-cooled moulds, and demanding engineering applications, including rubber-tire mould production. Tailored heat treatment can be applied to adjust peak Hardness. 

With a chromium content of 8%, this steel mimics the corrosion resistance of stainless steels like 17-4PH, allowing it to perform effectively in mildly corrosive environments such as those found in the food, pulp and paper, and oil & gas industries.

AdamIQ™ SAM 1 is a robust feedstock for any laser powder bed fusion machine (L-PBF). This new composition maintains printability comparable to 18Ni300 while offering superior ease of printing over H13.

Inert gas atomized Lean maraging steel powder with an essentially martensitic microstructure. AdamIQ™ SAM 1 is ideally suited for use in laser powder bed fusion processes, where its printability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical performance make it a versatile option for industries requiring both strength and reliability in mildly corrosive environments, high-performance tooling, conformal-cooled molds, and engineering applications that demand both resilience and corrosion resistance.
