Having researched bought and trained to work with the various technically sound equipment for carrying out quality tests, we have managed to assure delivery of top-end products to the clients. Some of the machines at our plant, that carry out quality checks are:
Universal Testing Machine (UTM):
- Process: Measures tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.
- Use: Confirms mechanical performance under load, essential for structural and high-stress applications.
Hardness Testing Machine (Brinell / Rockwell / Vickers):
- Process: Checks hardness level of the bar surface.
- Use: Ensures proper heat treatment (like quenching & tempering) has been applied.
- Type Used: Usually Rockwell C Scale for 4140 / EN19 grade.
Spectrometer / Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES):
- Process: Purpose: Performs chemical composition analysis.
- Use: Non-destructive method used for quality assurance in forged or hot-rolled bars.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Equipment:
- Process: Detects internal defects, inclusions, cracks, or voids.
- Use: Confirms mechanical performance under load, essential for structural and high-stress applications.
Microscope (Metallurgical Microscope):
- Process: Analyzes microstructure.
- Use: Confirms proper heat treatment and grain refinement during processing.
Straightness & Dimensional Measuring Tools:
- Process: Vernier calipers, micrometers, straightness gauges, and profile projectors.
- Use: Ensures tight dimensional tolerances and bar straightness.
