Quality & testing
Our search for perfection is constant and an integral part of our commitment. Therefore, we have instituted a Quality Assurance Program to ensure adherence with prescribed metal finishing parameters.
Process control
Diagnostic controls are present at various process intervals for data acquisition and subsequent analysis. This statistical gathering serves as the basis on which we measure the potential impact of variances in process solutions and the required response. Through this approach, we achieve quality enhancement, cost containment and expedient service to conform with customers’ production schedules.
Our customer-focused quality control technicians have the latest technology equipment at their disposal for performing a wide variety of inspection and testing processes to ensure that all services meet your expectations.
Certification & accreditation
Our quality management system certification and laboratory accreditation support the way we control processes and verify your finish.
Quality management system
Plating Technology's quality management system is certified by PRI Certification, part of the Performance Review Institute.
Our certified scope covers electro and non-electro deposition on metal substrates for corrosion, lubricity, conductivity, and other surface enhancements.
Accredited testing laboratory
Our Dayton laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). Accreditation recognizes technical competence for a defined testing scope and the operation of a laboratory quality management system.
Our accredited mechanical testing scope includes:
Accredited testing supports our metal-finishing operations. The laboratory does not offer commercial testing services. Review the certificate and accompanying scope for covered activities and materials.
Inspection & verification
Our quality control team performs inspection and testing to verify metal finishing parameters and customer requirements.
Thickness and alloy composition by X-ray fluorescence to ASTM B568.
Neutral salt spray (fog) testing to ASTM B117.
Torque-tension and coefficient-of-friction testing of fasteners to ISO 16047.
Additional capability: hydrogen embrittlement relief testing.
