QUALITY CONTROL

Users of machine parts know that an alloy contamination with as little as .001% of an element may be the cause of field failures. We take every precaution to ensure that our product meets all requirements of the specification you order.

 

Mill quality control procedures are in accordance with MIL-I-45208A, the most stringent procedures required by the United States Department of Defense for procurement of Level I/Subsafe material.
