Traceability to the original melt
The alloys we manufacture start life in the foundry, where raw ingredients are melted and combined in electric induction melting furnaces. When the correct composition is achieved, and the alloy is free from dissolved gases and impurities, the material is cast.
Each cast is a unique entity and is allocated a unique melt number. This is permanently marked on the cast product. The unique melt identity is maintained throughout the manufacturing process on every single piece. All tests and inspections are directly related and traceable to each unique melt number.
When the product is delivered, the unique melt number can be clearly seen marked on each piece and the accompanying material certification references this unique number. This helps in showing the actual results of all product verification testing.
All products are tested and inspected in accordance with all expected technical specifications such as component drawing notes or product definitions.
This helps to prolong an alloy’s lifespan and improve the quality of performance.
Alongside the unique melt numbers, each delivery has a unique material certification that clearly states the results of all the tests performed on the delivered product.
Additional documentation, such as heat treatment certification and completed quality plans are also provided as required by the customer’s order as well as technical and quality specifications.
We provide the clearest and most comprehensive certification packs available making life easy for our customers.
Our mission is to ensure the reliability and integrity of every product we manufacture.
