Kadvani Forge Limited has it's own inspection plan for all the components and it's processes at different stages of production.

1.    Incoming Material Inspection :-

All the material coming to the company from different sources has to undergo the inspection and testing as per inspection plan before it goes to stores.

Raw material incoming from the approved steel mills are kept in the stock yard and 100% visual examination and spark testing is done.

Chemical, metallurgical and physical testing is also carried out as per the plan or instruction of the customer.

After approval of the material in the laboratory, color code given to each and every bar of the same grade.

 Physical testing e.g. upset test, step turn test, tensile test, Impact test, macro etching is also carried out.

Metallurgical testing of the material e.g. Inclusion rating, Grain Flow, Microstructure is also carried out.

2.    Process Inspection :-

Inspection is carried out at every stage of production at different stages e.g. Die Shop, Cutting Shop, Forge Shop, Heat Treatment Shop.

Each shop or processing dept has it's own inspection plan to satisfy the customer's needs depending upon the experience and expertise.

• Die Shop :- Dies are checked thoroughly before dispatch for production and reports are kept in file for reference.
• Cutting Shop :- All the cut pieces are checked for the required cut weight as needed to produce particular parts.

• Forge Shop :- Temperature in furnace is controlled by the temperature controlled provided with each and every furnace. 100% visual hot inspection is done for forging defense, weight and at specified intervals, and SPC chart is made to assess the effectiveness of the process. 

• Heat Treatment:- Personals responsible for the process under direct supervision of qualified metallurgies and experienced chemist and skilled workers are working as per the work instruction and inspection plan.

  Certain pieces are selected from each lot of components passing through the process of heat treatment and are tested to confirm the hardness, microstructure, grain size of the lot as per need of the customer.

  Heat treatment furnaces are equipped with temperature indicator and controller.  

  We can do normalizing, annealing, hardening, tempering, solution annealing, Isothermal annealing of the steel forged components.

  All care is taken to control the hardness within a navigation of hardness from piece to piece upto 15 BHN.

3.    Final Inspection :-

All the forged parts coming this shop are shot blasted and following inspection carried out as per plan.

1.Visual inspection for scale pit, folds, unfeeling etc.
2.Dimensional inspection :- critical dimensions like thickness and references points for 1st operation at the customers end are checked 100%.
3.Layout :- Some of the piece/lot are fully laid out for dimension as per the drawing before dispatch.
4.Packing :- Packing of the components and dispatches are made as per customer requirement.
