Warranty Overview
MetalCore Manufacturing stands behind the quality, precision, and durability of every component we produce. Our warranty policies are designed to protect your investment, minimize downtime, and ensure complete compliance with industry standards (ISO 9001:2015, AS9100, and FDA where applicable).
All warranties are governed by the terms outlined in this document. Coverage begins on the date of delivery or installation, as applicable, and requires proper handling, storage, and usage per our engineering specifications.
Product Warranty Coverage
Standard warranty periods vary by component type, material grade, and application environment. Extended warranty programs are available for qualifying production contracts.
| Component Category | Standard Warranty | Extended Option | Coverage Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Machined Parts | 12 Months | Up to 36 Months | Defects in material/workmanship, dimensional tolerance failures |
| Sheet Metal & Fabricated Assemblies | 18 Months | Up to 48 Months | Weld integrity, structural failures, coating adhesion |
| Injection Molded Components | 12 Months | Up to 24 Months | Material degradation, dimensional drift, surface defects |
| Die Cast Parts | 24 Months | Up to 60 Months | Casting porosity, cracks, mechanical property failures |
| Medical & Aerospace Certified Parts | Per Customer Spec | Custom Agreements | Full traceability, regulatory compliance, zero-defect assurance |
Note: Warranty periods are void if components are modified, repaired by unauthorized third parties, or subjected to environments outside their rated specifications.
Service & Installation Warranty
MetalCore provides a 90-day warranty on all installation, calibration, and on-site integration services performed by our certified technical teams. Coverage includes:
- Incorrect assembly or mounting per provided engineering drawings
- Calibration errors within specified tolerances

- Normal Wear & Tear: Consumable components, seals, gaskets, and parts subject to expected operational degradation.
- Improper Maintenance: Failure to follow recommended lubrication, cleaning, or inspection schedules.
- Force Majeure: Damage from floods, fires, lightning, shipping mishandling by third-party carriers, or extreme environmental exposure.
- Unauthorized Modifications: Machining, heat treatment, or coating alterations performed without MetalCore written approval.
- Software & Firmware: Control systems, embedded software, or third-party IoT modules (covered under separate EULA).
- Consequential Damages: MetalCore is not liable for indirect, incidental, or punitive damages, including lost profits or production downtime, unless explicitly stated in a master service agreement.
