Quality Control Process

Our comprehensive 7-stage Quality Control process ensures that each forging meets the highest quality standards.

Stage 1: Material Check

• Raw Material Inspection: Ensures the base materials meet the necessary standards.
• Visual Inspection: Checks for any immediate defects or inconsistencies.
• Chemical Analysis Check: Verifies the composition of materials for precision.

Stage 2: Cutting

• Weight Measurement: Ensures precise material allocation for forging.
• Cut Surface Check: Evaluates the cut quality and surface integrity.
• Marking for Identification: Ensures traceability throughout the process.

Stage 3: Heating

• Temperature Check: Ensures optimal heating for material properties.

Stage 4: Forging & Normalizing

• Visual Check: Monitors the material condition throughout the forging process.
• Temperature Check: Ensures consistent temperature control during forging.
• Dimensional Check: Guarantees compliance with design specifications.
• Weight Measurement: Confirms correct material distribution.

Stage 5: Heat Treatment

• Visual Check: Detects any surface defects after treatment.
• Temperature Check: Ensures correct heat treatment for strength and durability.
• Soaking Time: Monitors the precise duration at high temperatures.
• Cooling Time: Ensures the material cools under controlled conditions.
• Hardness Check: Verifies the required hardness levels are achieved.

Stage 6: Machining

• Visual Check: Ensures machining precision and surface finish.
• Dimensional Check: Confirms adherence to dimensional tolerances.

Stage 7: Final Inspection

• Dye Penetrant Testing: Detects surface-level defects.
• Magnetic Particle Testing: Identifies surface and subsurface defects.
• Ultrasonic Testing: Ensures the internal integrity of the material.
• Tensile Testing: Verifies the material’s strength under tension.
• Impact Testing: Checks material toughness.
• Microscopic Testing: Analyzes the material’s grain structure for uniformity.
• Marking Check: Ensures accurate identification for traceability.
• Dimensional Check: Confirms the final product meets all design criteria.
• Weight Measurement: Ensures the correct weight as per customer specifications.
• Packing Inspection: Guarantees proper packaging to avoid damage during transport.
