Quality & Inspection Planning
Plan casting inspection, material identification and sample acceptance around the drawing. Confirm required records and project-specific qualification with toway casting.
Define the requirement.
Then review the route.
- Material, geometry and critical features
- Machining and final surface condition
- Inspection, documentation and quantities
Capabilities are confirmed per component. Proposed topics are not verified service claims.
Define evidence before approving production
Quality planning starts with the actual component and its acceptance requirements. A general quality statement does not replace the specified alloy, drawing revision, inspection scope or required customer approval.
An enquiry-to-acceptance checklist
| Review area | What to define in the enquiry |
|---|---|
| Material identification | Specified cast grade, condition and required material records. |
| Dimensional inspection | Critical features, datum references and agreed measurement basis. |
| Surface acceptance | Functional finish requirements and approved appearance sample where relevant. |
| Testing scope | Any required test method, acceptance criterion and responsible party. |
| Sample approval | Drawing revision, sample report and acceptance decision. |
| Change control | Approval process for drawing, material or manufacturing changes. |
Qualifications must match the application
Aerospace, medical, rail and defense projects can have additional customer requirements. Confirm the relevant qualification scope before awarding work. This draft does not claim AS9100, ISO 13485, implant approval, customer-program approval or other unverified credentials.
Prepare an inspection discussion
Start with drawing-defined tolerance requirements and include the required records when requesting a quote.
Bring the requirements.
Let’s review the route.
Specify your material, quantities and critical features so casting, machining and secondary processing can be reviewed together.
- Current drawing revision
- Alloy, quantities & final condition
- Inspection & delivery requirements
