Quality System Improvements

Each of our production facilities operates on-site metallurgical laboratories. Qualified metallurgists, lab technicians and inspection personnel follow documented procedures to ensure compliance with applicable standards and customer requirements. Calibrated inspection, measuring and test equipment is used in combination with statistical techniques to confirm process viability and to certify achievement of customer specifications such as hardness, case depth and microstructure.

Specialty Heat Treating’s quality system is strengthened through internal, external and technical audits. These audits are essential to the continual improvement of our quality system. For information regarding industry or customer approvals to include CQI-9 Heat Treatment Assessment Survey, please contact our Quality System Manager at 616-399-6880 or e-mail:
