AdamIQ™ SAM 2

At ArcelorMittal we believe that Steel Additive Manufacturing can create new opportunities for all manufacturing sectors, providing complex, customised parts with superior properties, performance, and longevity. Let us take you through our vision for the future of Additive Manufacturing, a uniquely Steel perspective with our SAM products. Our latest product, AdamIQ™ SAM 2, exemplifies this commitment by providing a unique printable triplex steel with exceptional characteristics. 

AdamIQ™ SAM 2 is designed to meet the demands of modern manufacturing sectors, offering a lower density that is 11% lighter than traditional steels. This reduction in weight does not compromise its strength or durability; instead, it enhances the material’s ultra-high energy absorption capabilities, making it ideal for applications requiring robust performance under extreme conditions. 

One of the standout features of AdamIQ™ SAM 2 is its cryogenic performance. The steel remains ductile down to temperatures as low as -70°C, transitioning to a brittle state only below this threshold. This property makes it suitable for use in environments where materials are subjected to severe cold, ensuring reliability and safety 

AdamIQ™ SAM 2 has an austenitic microstructure, which ensures perfect homogeneity and robustness against variations in printing conditions. This microstructure is quite similar to 316L, but AdamIQ™ SAM 2 offers higher hardness, strength, and toughness, while maintaining similar elongation and a density that is 11% lower. 

With its combination of low density, high energy absorption, and excellent cryogenic properties, AdamIQ™ SAM 2 is well-suited for lightweight structural, defense, automotive, aerospace, and railway applications.

The high levels of Al, provide good oxidation resistance, and samples keep the metallic shine at room temperature. So, no surface posttreatment is needed. The robustness, appearance and versatility of 316L in as built conditions, the 11% weight saving and ultra high energy absorption on top.
