HELP WITH ALLOY IDENTIFICATION

[lab_girl]

Hey I have a bunch of alloy and I have no idea what's it in it. I'm thinking about refining it, I would like to find out gold content. It will make it easier for calculations of return. The name that is on the alloy says SFC. It's a white alloy.

Silver FC.
Im guessing 60 to 75% silver, the balance in Palladium and trace elements.
A lot of refiners wont check (or pay) for silver unless you request it.

palladium is worth heaps at the moment

Just to be clear...Im guessing.
It could be Silver Free Ceramic with a substantial gold content.

Found money. Send it in to your favorite refiner, they're not going to screw you over on it.

To be honest, it reminderd me of a Jeneric (Penton) abbreviation for one of their metals.
I think this is right? http://510k.medevnet.com/product_codes/index.cfm?fuseaction=companies&product_code=EJT

Oh boy.
Back when I used lots of alloy, I tried a 'new' refiner. I always used the same metals, sent it in just before the end of the year and received predictable results. The new folks (VERY well known company) called with the results. A small fraction of whats expected. I said screw that, send it back. They said they cant, its mixed with everything else.

They probably also like getting in clean metal to refine and assay.

Nice guess, from what I also found.
