Quality ( Policy & Method)
SSF committed to win maximum customer delight through consistent product quality, on-time delivery, reduction in wasteful practices and continuous improvement in all our systems and processes.
SSF quality level meets the highest standard Including ASME, ASTM, BS,EN DIN Standard etc.
SSF have a full fledged Laboratory for Physical, Chemical and Metallurgical testing. Process control is ensured in different stages to maintain consistent quality traceability is carried out in house
We shall achieve this by developing a capable team of experienced employees and providing necessary resources, infrastructural facilities and genial work environment. Quality assurance activities for the manufacture of all the products of our plants are closely coordinated at the following stages.
Incoming Inspection of Raw Material:-
All materials are procured with the manufacturers test certificate and tested to confirm the chemical / metallurgical properties including hardness. Most commonly processed materials are 20MnCr5 (AISI 5120), 16MnCr5, En 353, En 9, En 19, SAE 52100 or 100Cr6, SAE 1008, A 105, Lf 2, St 52, SAE 8620H or 4320H, SAE 4140, C15, C 45, C 60, Medium or Low Carbon Steel, H 11, H 13 Tool Steel, SS 410, SS304, SS316, Stainless Steel etc.
All the material to the company from different sources has to undergo the inspection any testing as per inspection plan before it goes to stores. Raw material incoming from the approved steel mills are kept in the Raw material yard and 100% visual examination is done. Chemical, metallurgical physical testing is also carried out as per customer requirement. After approval of the material in the laboratory, color code given to each and every bar as per grade. Physical testing e.g. tensile test, Impact test, macro etching is also carried out. Metallurgical testing of the material e.g. Inclusion rating, Grain Flow, Microstructure is also carried out.
We have fully Equipped Laboratory for raw-material testing as below:
Stage-wise Inspection Control (Die / Cutting / Forging / Heat-treatment / Machining)
Process Inspection is carried out at every stage of production at different stages e.g. Die Shop, Cutting Shop, Forging Shop, Heat Treatment Shop & Machining Shop.
Die Shop: - Dies are inspected thoroughly before run production and reports are kept in file for reference.
Cutting Shop: - All the cut pieces are checked for the required cut weight as per parts requirement.
Forge Shop: - Forging inspection is carried out as define in control plan of parts. Temperature in furnace is controlled by the temperature controlled provided with each and every. Dimensional inspection is done as per forging drawing & control plan of parts. 100% visual hot inspection is done for forged parts specified requirement in control plan and SPC chart is made to assess the effectiveness of the process.
Heat Treatment: - We can do spheroidize annealing, special annealing, normalizing & Isothermal annealing of the steel forged parts. Personals responsible for the process under direct supervision of qualified metallurgies and experienced chemist and skilled workers are working as per the work instruction and inspection plan. Certain pieces are selected from each lot of parts passing through the process of heat treatment and are tested to confirm the hardness, microstructure, grain size, inclusion ratings of the lot as per need of the customer.
Machining Shop: - Fully machined parts in process inspection are carried out as per machining drawing or customer drawing at machine. All required measuring instrument & work instruction display near working area in machining shop.
Final Inspection
Final Inspection is carried out with respect to final machining drawing or customer specified drawing and control plan (Dimensional & Metallurgical) of parts.

Our Products
CLOSED DIE FORGING is the process whereby this deformation is confined within a shaped cavity in the dies to achieve a desired engineering configuration.
Open die forging involves the shaping of heated metal parts between a top die attached to a ram and a bottom die attached to a hammer anvil or press bed.
At SSF we offer a full range of in-house machining options to take your forgings to near-finished dimensions.
