Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

I had a guy use like 5 wafers of adamantine to make a damn flute. I just deleted the game (gobbies rampaged it) but it had spikes and stuff.

This begs the question. When the adamantine spear strikes the adamantine chain mail, which is stronger?

The question is not how to make the stupid dorfs use the adamantine, but how to make them producing something worthy, instead of crowns, blowguns, querns, right gauntlets or BDSM wear.

Well in that case, train all useless dwarves with no strange mood skill up to dabbling in weaponsmith/armorer (and if you're really sadistic kill useless dwarves with other mood skills).  Sure they can still make gauntlets, but at least that is a piece of armor.

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.

Given the nature the nature of spears as a weapon, and the nature of chainmail in its construction, the molecule-fine edge of the adamatine spear will easily go through the spaces between/in the adamatine links. The spear tip won't break, but neither will the adamatine rings. At worse you'll get a really small cut.
