Apart from ISO 9001:2000
certification, the company also has its own in-house system
for constant, precision checks across the entire production
cycle, from acquisition of waste and mother alloys, where
suppliers are chosen with special care.
Raw materials are then subjected to ongoing
control and selected for various uses, each load attributed
with a formula that optimizes the product's analytical composition.
There are also production line checks with samples taken from
the molten bath for analysis and subsequent correction before
the pour.
Final analysis of poured ingots guarantees composition before
they are stored.
Product quality is nevertheless governed by
other factors which include: hardness testing, verification
of refining and polish of sample slices of the ingots to identify
any impurities and inclusions such as hard spots and high
melting point clusters.
Available laboratory equipment includes:
Analysis using X-ray fluorescence
spectrometer;
Refining control using a state-of-the-art
"AXIOSKOP CARL ZEISS" microscope;
Hardness control using a "330RS DIGITRONIC"
durometer, with HRC ball indenter.
