Elkem's best treatment to improve production of top-quality SSF components

You can improve mechanical properties such as elongation and yield strength with a new range of high performance cast iron grades: SSF (Solution Strengthened Ferritic) iron has significantly better mechanical properties than traditional GJS 500 – 700.

Elkem is at the forefront of this development and can provide you with proven metal treatment solutions for these new grades.

Quotation. “We have replaced some of our traditional 500/7 components with SSF and have a lower cost, reliable process which meets all of our customer’s requirements” – Automotive foundry Turkey.
