What is SMF?
The SMF creates a positive and forward looking programme for the special metals industry, its products and skills. The forum brings together the strengths, unique resources and capabilities of the special metals supply chain; producers, fabricators, component manufacturers and OEM’s are all represented as well as research organisations and the wider academic community.
The special metals sector has never been more important to the UK’s increasingly knowledge-based economy. The aerospace, energy and bio-medical sectors are all critically dependent on special metals for their success.
Member organisations share the common aim of strengthening the special metals industry through sharing best commercial and technical practice.
