Quality Control

Traceable Steel, Checked at
Every Stage

CMM inspection of a machined aluminium part
  • 01

    Heat-number check

    Incoming bar stock is checked against its mill certificate and heat number before it goes on a machine, so the grade on your drawing is the grade in your part.

  • 02

    First article inspection

    The first article is measured on a CMM and the report is sent to you. The batch starts only after you approve it.

  • 03

    In-process SPC

    Operators sample dimensions throughout the run against an AQL plan, so drift is caught at the machine and not when the lot is finished.

  • 04

    Final inspection

    Every lot gets a 100% dimensional and visual check. The material certificate and inspection record ship with the parts, traceable back to the raw material.

Ask a Question
  • What tolerances can you hold on steel parts?

    Diameters hold ±0.005 mm when ground and ±0.01 mm when turned. Ra 1.6 µm is the baseline surface finish, and Ra 0.4 µm can be specified on the drawing.

  • Which carbon steel grades do you turn?

    We turn 1215, 12L14 and 4140, plus other carbon alloys on request. 12L14 is a leaded steel, so 1215 is the choice when lead must be avoided. For corrosion-critical parts, stainless grades such as 303, 304, 316L and 17-4PH are the better starting point.

  • Can you heat treat and plate the parts?

    Yes. Options include hardening and tempering, case hardening, nitriding, and zinc, nickel, chrome or tin plating. These steps are scheduled with the machining and quoted together, so one lead time covers the whole chain.

  • How are steel parts protected from rust in transit?

    Parts are cleaned, wrapped in VCI film and coated with anti-rust oil, then packed in plastic trays or bags. The inspection record and material certificate travel in the same box.

  • What are your minimum order and lead times?

    You can order a single piece. Machined prototypes take as little as 3 days or 2–3 weeks typically, with heat treatment and plating adding time confirmed on the quote. Production lots typically take 4–6 weeks.

  • Do you supply certificates and sign NDAs?

    Yes. Each lot ships with a material certificate and inspection record, and you approve a first article report before the batch is run. An NDA is available on request, before any drawing is opened.
