Staff & training
Personnel receive training for their work and are assessed before starting the operation. Continued training supports consistent working methods.
FIVE AREAS OF CONTROL
Quality starts before
the first part is cast.
The quality assurance programme covers five areas of control, from training and equipment to the inspection of finished products.
Equipment & process
Equipment and process controls support the planned manufacturing route. Key parameters and operations are reviewed against the component requirements.
Incoming materials
Raw materials are sourced from qualified suppliers and checked on receipt. The quality guidance includes dimensional, visual, chemical and spectrometric examination.
In-process inspection
Operator inspection is combined with QC sampling and checks at key operations. Nonconforming parts are separated and their causes reviewed before the next step.
Finished component review
Finished parts are reviewed against the agreed inspection and sampling requirements. Inspection records support the release of the component.
AGREE THE INSPECTION SCOPE
Define acceptance
with the drawing.
The inspection scope can include chemical analysis, mechanical testing, impact and hardness testing, radiography and pressure testing. Required methods, sampling and records are agreed for the project.
Specify the alloy, critical features, inspection methods and documentation in your inquiry.
Discuss Inspection RequirementsInclude in your request
- Drawing number and revision
- Material grade and specification
- Critical dimensions and tolerances
- Surface condition and finish
- Tests, sampling and required records
