Quality test
We pursue the objective of always offering you the expected quality of your products, and setting up the manufacturing processes and sequences defect free is, for us, a factor that breeds security and trust.
We perform process-related controls and final inspections to deliver with the expected quality:
- Emission spectrometer for iron and nickel matrix
- Our own moulding material laboratory
- Thermal analysis for evaluation of the solidifying properties of cast iron
- Mechanical - technological test
- Tensile testing
