Quality at the good level, from raw part to finished product
Optimising the quality of your forged and cast parts
Your expectations
You are a manufacturer or purchaser of forged or cast parts (steel, aluminium, copper alloys, titanium, etc.) and you are faced with a non-compliance issue at the development stage (initial samples, prototype parts) or during production.
You want to:
- Guarantee a level of quality that complies with the specifications and remains consistent over time
- Identify the production parameters (alloy, mould, process, control) that impact the quality of your parts
- Implement relevant action plans to ensure the stability of your deliveries
Our solutions
To assist you in your component quality management, we can get involved at several levels:
- Technical on-site (yours or your suppliers) audit to accurately diagnose the root causes of non-quality (alloy, mould, process, control) and propose quality improvement plans (forging, foundry) going from development to on-site deployment support,
- Simulation of the forging process (Forge® NXT) or casting process (QuikCAST / ProCAST / Thercast®) to optimize the couple of product/process, reduce the prototyping and development phases or resolve a quality issue during production,
- Automated production control
- Failure analysis of your casted or forged parts (material shrinkage, shrinkage cavities, porosity, etc.) and guidance on analyzing the most probable causes, in relation to your manufacturing process
- Cetim Academy® training, inter-company and tailor-made, covering processes, tools, metallurgy and defects
Your benefits
Cetim provides you with multidisciplinary teams, giving you access to:
- in-depth knowledge of forging and casting processes
- expertise in alloys (steel, aluminium, cast iron, etc.) and molding materials/products, core making
- process simulation tools and a mastery of methodological problem-solving tools
You also have access to an impartial external perspective.
