Quality Control for Aluminium Alloy Ingots

Incoming Material

1. Visual Check
2. Scraps of one quality are purchased & segregated separately
3. Scraps generally bought are baled wires, baled/loose sheets, turnings etc.
4. Spectrometer test for chemical composition.
5. Testing of Secondary ingots for quality.
6. Raw materials are kept in an enclosure free of moisture.

Inprocess Inspection { Most Important }

1. Temperature Control using pyrometer


2. Degassing & Fluxing
3. Grain refinement where required
4. Onlilne chemical Composition check {If NG, re-melting & grain refining}

Finished Goods

1. Every heat is marked with batch number, which ensure 


complete back traceability upto raw material stage.
2. Every heat is re-tested for its chemical composition.
3. Each Batch test samples retention for 60 days.
4. Each batch is color coded after the ingots have cooled.
5. All manufactured goods are kept in an enclosure free of moisture.

Dispatch of Goods
1. Each batch of ingots is dispatched with its own test certificate.

2. If required strapping is done of 500Kg lots.
