The widespread adoption of Steel Additive Manufacturing (SAM) for industrial-scale production faces well-known challenges, including high part costs and maintaining consistent quality over time.

ArcelorMittal remains at the forefront of Steel Additive Manufacturing with innovations like new steel alloys specifically designed for 3D printing, which outperform those made through traditional methods, or advanced algorithms and metallurgical models that enable the printing of challenging materials.

Consuming 10 tons of 3D-printed steel parts per year, ArcelorMittal is an experienced user of additive and has faced many of the obstacles common to its adoption. This experience has focused our efforts in developing solutions, from algorithms to print H13 crack-free, to innovative alloys like AdamIQ™ SAM 2, delivering an unmet combination of strength and elongation.

Steel Additive Manufacturing is developing in exciting new ways. Read the article to get to know SAM a little bit better.
