Quality
Quality is a Process, Not a Badge
Every lot passes three documented checkpoints — inward, in-process, pre-dispatch — and ships with a traceable record.
±0.1 mm
Dimensional Tolerance
0.03 mm
Concentricity Control
350 MPa
Tensile Strength · Up To
16 bar
Hydrostatic Testing
Methodology
Three-Stage Quality Control
| Stage | What Is Verified |
|---|---|
| 1 Inward |
OES alloy chemistry vs IS/EN/ASTM limits · billet hardness (HW) by alloy · surface & geometry sampling · non-conforming material quarantined — never enters the press
|
| 2 In-Process |
First-off dimensional check after every die change · extrusion temperatures logged per lot · die hardness verified post-nitriding · anodizing bath parameters monitored per run · powder coat thickness per lot
|
| 3 Pre-Dispatch |
UTM tensile test on critical alloys · VMM dimensional check vs drawing · visual surface inspection · lot record closed before release
|
Infrastructure
Testing Laboratory
| Instrument | What It Verifies |
|---|---|
| OES Spectrometer | Full alloy chemistry vs IS/EN/ASTM limits — all 6xxx alloys |
| Universal Testing Machine (UTM) | Tensile, yield, elongation — per alloy & temper |
| Visual Measuring Machine (VMM) | Dimensions & geometry vs customer drawing |
| Vickers Hardness Tester | Post-ageing hardness (HW) — temper compliance by alloy |
| Bend Testing Machine | Ductility & crack resistance |
| Ultrasonic Testing Machine | Internal voids & sub-surface porosity |
| Hydrostatic Testing Rig | Tube & hollow profile integrity at 16 bar |
| Metallurgical Microscope | Grain structure, weld seams, casting integrity |
| Anodizing Lab | Film thickness (eddy current) · sealing (acid dissolution) · bath chemistry |
Control
Traceability & Process Quality
Lot Traceability
Every dispatched lot links:
- Billet heat no. & casting date
- Spectrometer chemistry report
- Extrusion date & press
- Ageing batch & HW result
- Dispatch reference & customer order
Recall-ready at any point in the supply chain.
Anodizing Quality Parameters
Film thickness 10 µm standard, up to 25 µm on request · sealing verified by acid dissolution · bath chemistry logged per run.
Process Quality Tools
For automotive & defence customers:
- Control Plans — per critical process stage
- Process FMEAs — risk mitigation on critical profiles
- SPC-capable data capture — at key parameters
- Customer-specific requirements — tracked in QMS
Every test documented, every lot traceable, every deviation logged — because quality that cannot be proven has not been achieved.
