_GfE’s master alloys are used in titanium and super alloys to produce special

corrosion- and heat-resistant parts for aircraft engines, land based turbines, off-

shore applications, car engines or exterior shieldings.

Other applications are found in sports equipment (e.g. golf clubs, cycle frames) as

well as in medical products (implants).

Special products for the steel and aluminum industry and for powder-metallurgical

applications complete our product range.

Through stringent testing (visual, black-light and X-ray inspection), GfE is able to

provide world-class quality products that meet the highest technical requirements.

_GfE’s alloys are manufactured from the highest quality raw materials in various

production processes including aluminothermic reduction and vacuum induction

melting.

The following inspection methods are employed during the manufacturing of cer-

tain products:

Black-light inspection

Magnetic separation

Visual inspection

X-ray inspection

Both raw materials and final products are analyzed by the quality department’s labo-

ratories using the most stringent methods such as:

Atomic absorption spectroscopy

Emission spectroscopy ICP DCP

Gas analysis via carrier gas extraction

Scanning electron microscope with EDX

Wet chemical analysis

X-ray diffraction analysis

X-ray fluorescence analysis

As one of the first manufacturing companies worldwide, GfE has succeeded to have

its high tech production processes to be accredited by DIN EN ISO 9001:2000. Since

December 2007 GfE is also approved according DIN EN 9100. GfE’s mission of all

entrepreneurial activities is the fulfillment of the customers’ expectations.
