Frequently asked questions
How does StålFe assist in material grade selection?
We benchmark mechanical loads, environmental exposure, corrosion resistance, and machinability to map equivalent international grades across EN, ISO, ASTM, and DIN standards.
Can you assist in upgrading from grey iron to ductile iron or ADI?
Yes. We evaluate tensile yield, impact toughness, and cost implications to recommend grades such as EN-GJS-500-7 or Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) for higher strength.
