If you have a custom machined part, it is crucial to have the components tested and inspected. The testing and inspection process highlights any potential flaws in your components and ensures that your parts are performing at the highest level possible. Below is a list of some of the most effective testing practices for your machined parts.
- Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection
- High-resolution dimensional inspection
- Functional tension, compression, and elongation testing
- Hardness testing of steel and aluminum
- Crack, weld flaws, and other defect detection
- Surface roughness testing
- Statistical analysis & process capability (CP & CPK)
- Production trends
These methods need to be done with state-of-the-art equipment to avoid any surface or performance damage to your parts. We recommend having your parts tested by a company that is certified to AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, and QPL/QPM listed for a number of Mil-Spec components. These certifications ensure your parts are going through a rigorous inspection to guarantee durability and high quality.
Another important aspect of the testing and inspection process is reporting. It is crucial to choose a company that keeps records of your part quality before delivery. By having these reports, if any damage occurs during shipping, you will know the condition of your parts when leaving the facility.
