QUALITY
Each of the shapes manufactured undergoes intensive testing by the independent Quality Control
Shapes department. All the relevant parameters of the production process are monitored with the
help of computers, documented and used for the detailed assessment of the products’ quality. Inde-
pendently of this, smelting samples are taken and sample sections are cut from the shapes, which are
then used for destructive testing: properties such as electrical conductivity, surface, quality of the
microstructure, tensile strength, chemical composition and recrystallization behavior are determined
and compared with fixed target values. Beyond this, the cast surface is carefully inspected. Only if
the shape meets the defined criteria in every respect is it released for dispatch. Our integrated QM
system is certified in accordance with DIN ISO 9001ff and is being further optimized all the time.
