Quality Control & Testing
Rigorous quality control and testing at every stage of production to ensure every casting meets specification, with detailed records retained for up to five years.
Service overview
Quality Control & Testing
At AFM, Quality Control and Testing is not a final step. It is woven into every stage of our production process. From incoming raw material verification through to final pre-shipment inspection, our quality team monitors, measures and documents every critical parameter to ensure that what leaves our facility meets your exact requirements.
We operate structured quality control procedures, supported by modern inspection equipment, including spectrographic analysis, dimensional inspection tools and non-destructive testing methods. Every batch is traceable, every inspection is recorded, and every nonconformity is investigated and corrected before we release products for delivery.
When you source from AFM, you're not relying on hope. You're relying on a system built to get it right.
