ENTRY QUALITY CONTROL

Prior to feeding to manufacturing, steel billets are subject to the following controls:

• Visual checks for cracks, fissures, plies, slag, etc. surface defects,
• Compliance of cross-section dimensions with specifications, and rhombicity check,
• Quantity, length, straightforwardness, etc. controls,
• Macroetching controls aimed at detection of billet internal defects (oxidation, pin holes, blow holes, etc.).

PROCESS QUALITY CONTROL

In all stages of production;

• Measures, dimensions and tolerance conformity measurements determined by the standards are made and all operational processes are monitored and recorded in the online system.

FINAL QUALITY CONTROL

At the end of the production line;

• Final controls according to customer specific requirements and standard requirements,
• Control of the product's straightening and packaging conditions,is recorded in the production system.

LABORATORY TESTS

KOCAER has 3 production facilities and R & D Center equipped with the latest technology and laboratory infrastructure. The requirements of the Quality Management System and International standards are meticulously applied, controlled and monitored. The following tests can be performed within our laboratory infrastructure:

• Chemical Spectral Analysis
• Tensile Testing
• Charpy V-Notch Impact Test,
• Bend Test,
• Microstructure and grain size measurements,
• Decarburization and Residue tests,
• Hardness Measurements,
• Ultrasonic crack controls,

Samples taken from all tested products are kept as witness samples for our customers for 1 year.

BARCODE SYSTEM

End-to-end traceability system has been developed for all production, storage and transport stages starting from raw material entry, and live system can be monitored with the data collected from all processes instantly. All transactions created within this framework can be recorded and all information can be obtained within the barcode system. Products are labeled with barcode system created within the framework of process records. The whole process from the raw material stage of the product to the delivery of the customer can be monitored and documented..
