AdamIQ™ SAM 3

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. 

Low alloy steels (LAS) have captured significant interest across various industries, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors. However, the rapid solidification inherent in Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes often results in highly segregated microstructural profiles at the microscale. This can lead to a heterogeneous microstructure in LAS post-printing, causing localized variations in mechanical properties, which is undesirable for many engineering applications. 

AdamIQ™ SAM 3 stands out as a robust feedstock for any laser powder bed fusion machine (L-PBF). Specifically designed for AM processes, it enhances microstructural homogeneity and robustness against varying printing conditions or sample geometries

Key features
 • Microstructural Homogeneity. AdamIQ™ SAM 3 is designed for additive manufacturing processes, enhancing microstructural homogeneity and robustness against different printing conditions or sample geometries. 

• High Strength. The product features a consistent and strong martensitic microstructure, making it suitable for various markets 

• Quenchability and Fine-Tuning. The addition of specific alloying elements with Mn enhances its quenchability, reduces segregation during solidification, and allows fine-tuning of microstructure and properties through heat treatments
