Traceable to the heat
Every heat is analysed in our own laboratory. Every casting carries its heat number from the mould to your plant.
From melt to dispatch
One heat number follows the casting through every step, so any report can be traced back to the metal it came from.
- Heat number
- Chemistry
- Mould
- Heat treatment
- Machining
- Inspection
- Dispatch
Laboratory
- Chemical analysis on an Ametek spectrometer, for every heat
- Optical microscope with image analyser for microstructure
- Tensile, impact and bench hardness testing
- Sand laboratory: grain size, clay content, loss on ignition, compression and shear strength
Non-destructive testing
- Ultrasonic testing of critical sections
- Magnetic particle inspection
- Dye penetrant testing
Manganese steel is non-magnetic and coarse-grained, so its surface is checked with dye penetrant and its soundness is built in through the method.
Dimensions and fit
- Dimensional inspection against the drawing
- Profile and thread gauges; surface roughness
- Assembly and segment fit checks
- Wet and dry film thickness of the paint
- 3D laser scanning and portable CMM through partners
Certified systems
- ISO 9001:2015Quality management
- ISO 14001:2015Environmental management
