3rd PARTY INSPECTION & QUALITY CONTROL
MINERVA MACHINERY: INSPECTION AND QUALITY CONTROL SERVICES
Minerva Machinery offers comprehensive Inspection and Quality Control services, overseeing the production of parts within the supplier’s manufacturing facility to ensure the highest standards are met. Our dedicated inspectors, acting as our solution partners, are highly experienced in the non-destructive testing (NDT) of casting, forging, and welded parts. They hold internationally recognized Level 2 and Level 3 NDT certifications.
Third-Party Inspection & Quality Control Activities
Supervision
We provide vigilant supervision during the manufacturing process to ensure all production activities adhere to the required standards and specifications.
Chemical Analysis
We perform detailed chemical analyses to verify the composition of materials, ensuring they meet the specified requirements and standards.
Dimensional Control
- CMM Measurement: Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) measurements provide highly accurate three-dimensional measurements of parts to verify their dimensions against the design specifications.
- Laser Scanning: This advanced technique captures precise surface data and creates detailed 3D models of the parts for thorough inspection and verification.
Surface Roughness Testing
This test measures the roughness of the part’s surface to ensure it meets the required smoothness standards, which is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics.
Hardness Testing
We determine the hardness of materials to assess their suitability for specific applications and to ensure they meet the required strength and wear resistance.
Tensile Testing
This test evaluates the tensile strength and ductility of materials by measuring their response to a controlled tension.
Impact Testing
We conduct impact tests to measure the toughness of materials and their ability to withstand sudden forces or shocks.
Microstructure Examination
Detailed examination of the microstructure of materials helps us understand their properties and detect any potential defects or irregularities.
Visual Testing
Our inspectors perform thorough visual examinations to identify surface defects and ensure the overall quality of the parts.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT)
This method involves applying a liquid dye to the surface of the part to reveal any cracks or defects that are not visible to the naked eye.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT)
We use magnetic fields to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
High-frequency sound waves are used to detect internal flaws in materials, providing detailed information about the part’s integrity.
Radiographic Testing (RT)
X-rays or gamma rays are used to inspect the internal structure of parts, revealing hidden defects that could affect their performance.
Coating Thickness Measurement
This test measures the thickness of coatings applied to parts to ensure they meet the required specifications for protection and performance.
