Quality Assurance

The Spuncast foundry applies ISO-9000 defined  procedures at each stage of the casting process to assure quality.

  • Precise control of the alloy composition through emission spectroscopy analysis of the ladle chemistry. 
  • Mechanical testing of the heat- treated casting.

    • Tensile strength and Charpy pendulum impact testing of witness bars.

    • Brinell hardness testing on selected areas of the casting.

  • Non-destructive testing of the machined casting per Mil Spec T0974-AS-G1B- 010/271
    • Liquid Penetrant Testing
    • X-ray radiography
