Multi-Stage Quality Control Process

Our comprehensive QC process catches defects at every stage, ensuring only conforming products reach our customers.

📋

1. Incoming Material Inspection

All raw materials are verified against mill certifications. We perform dimensional, chemical, and mechanical property testing to confirm material integrity before any production begins. Every material lot receives a unique traceability identifier.

Spectrometry • Hardness Testing • Tensile Testing
🔍

2. First Article Inspection (FAI)

Comprehensive AS9102-compliant First Article Inspection with full AS100/AS101/AS102 documentation. Every critical characteristic is measured, recorded, and verified against engineering drawings and specifications.

AS9102 Compliant • Full Documentation

3. In-Process Monitoring

Automated in-process gauging and Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts monitor critical dimensions in real-time. Operators perform hourly checks with calibrated instruments, and any trending toward limits triggers immediate corrective action.

SPC • Automated Gauging • Cpk Analysis
🔬

4. Final Inspection & Testing

100% final inspection for critical parts, with AQL sampling for standard components. Non-destructive testing (NDT), surface finish verification, and coating thickness measurements are performed as required by specification.

CMM • NDT • Surface Analysis
📦

5. Documentation & Release

Complete data packages including Certificates of Conformance (CoC), material test reports, heat treat charts, and inspection reports accompany every shipment. Full traceability from raw material to finished part is maintained.

CoC • Material Certs • Full Traceability
