Material traceability
Define heat-number identification and the records required to link material to the finished component.
Defined at enquiry.
Controlled through release.
Bring the quality requirements into the first conversation: material, dimensions, examination, traceability and final records.
Make the acceptance criteria clear.
The following topics can be specified in your enquiry. Applicable capability, testing arrangements and documentation are confirmed during review.
Dimensional inspection
Specify the governing standard, approved drawing and dimensional acceptance requirements.
PMI & chemical analysis
Include material-verification and chemical-analysis requirements where applicable.
Mechanical & hardness testing
Identify the tests, acceptance criteria and laboratory documentation required by your specification.
PT / DPT and UT / RT
State the applicable examination method, extent and acceptance criteria. Scope depends on product and specification.
Heat-treatment records
Request the treatment documentation and charts required for the material and manufacturing route.
Calibration control
Include project requirements for inspection equipment and calibration records.
Material certificates
State any EN 10204 3.1 MTC requirement for review and confirmation with your order specification.
Third-party inspection
Include the ITP, nominated inspector and required hold or witness points.
From incoming material
to final documentation.
Material identification → heat-number traceability → forming or forging → heat treatment → inspection and NDT → final documentation.
