HEAT TREATER HARDNESS
MONITORING
|
| a1 |
Post-Forge Supervisor |
As required by Traveler or at Post-Forge
Supervisor discretion |
Traveler |
Double-check authorized heat treater's
hardness per TOP-HARDT. |
Perform in-house hardness testing per
TOP-HARDT |
| a2 |
Post-Forge Supervisor |
Completion of TOP-HARDT |
Heat treater's certs; Trinity Hardness
Inspection Sheet, Traveler |
Compare heat treater's hardness results to
in-house results. |
Determination whether or not we agree with heat
treater's results |
| a3 |
Post-Forge Supervisor |
If in-house results do not agree with heat
treater's |
Determination from previous
step |
Notify QA Manager of results via Hardness
Inspection Sheet if they fail. |
QA Manager notified |
| a4 |
QA Manager |
Upon being informed that in-house results differ
from heat treater's |
Heat treater's certs; Trinity Hardness
Inspection Sheet; sample forgings |
Review results; have heat treater check a sample
of the forgings that Trinity checked; issue
Corrective Action
Report per TOP-CARRR if heat treater's results are in error
(use outside arbiter if necessary); notify Post-Forge
Supervisor of determination. |
Resolution of difference; possibly
Corrective Action
Report; Post-Forge Supervisor advised
of determination |
| a5 |
Post-Forge Supervisor |
Upon notification from QA Manager from previous
step |
QA Manager’s
notification |
Record determination and ensure parts are to
specification. |
Parts to specification |

Trinity Hardness Inspection
Sheet |
Scan into the Parts Certs for later analysis of
authorized heat treat supplier. |

| HEAT TREATER TENSILE TEST
MONITORING |
| b1 |
Post Forge Supervisor |
As required by Router information in the Traveler or at Post Forge Supervisor discretion, at
least monthly |
Traveler |
Decide to double-check authorized heat
treater's tensile test; create Work Order and
send heat treated part or test bar to approved
outside laboratory for verification of tensile
test. |
Tensile test double-checked |
| b2 |
Authorized laboratory |
Upon receiving specimen and work
order |
Work order; any standards cited on work
order |
Perform testing; produce report; email or fax
results to Receptionist (if not faxing formal report,
mail formal report to Sales
Assistant) |
Test results returned to
Receptionist |
| b3 |
Receptionist |
Upon receipt of test results via fax or
email |
Test results |
Forward test results to QA Assistant and QA
Manager |
Test results given to QA Assistant and QA
Manager; shipment held until results
reviewed |
| b4 |
QA Manager |
Upon receipt of test results |
Test results; Traveler |
Check results; allow parts to ship if results
pass; if fail, contact heat treater, laboratory and
customer as necessary to resolve issue (may have to
heat treat and test again). |
Results verified; allowed to ship if passed; if
failed, necessary steps taken to correct and
verify |
