All test samples have been produced on a SLM 280 2.0 system, 30 µm layer thickness and tested in the vertical direction.
Standard package size for SSAB AM powder is 10 kg, including silica gel bag. Other package sizes are available up on agreement.
The steel in this product is a proof of concept and pilot delivery of the fossil-free steel SSAB is developing. By using hydrogen reduced sponge iron, SSAB has removed the primary source of CO2 emissions in the steelmaking, emitting water instead of carbon dioxide. Discover more at www.ssab.com.
