|   Providing quality products at
            competitive pricing requires the implementation of a Quality Program
            which permeates the entire organization. 
              
                Our quality program exceeds the
                requirements of MIL-I-45208A.
              All inventory is coded by part
                number, heat number, and lot.
              Materials in production are
                controlled by heat number and work order.
              Continuous internal audits
                provide the source for steady improvement.
             Production Quality Control 
              
              Raw material is inspected upon
                receipt and inventoried by heat number. Original mill
                certifications are required of all incoming materials at time of
                delivery and are verified before acceptance.
              All production lots are subject
                to a first piece inspection following set up, and prior to
                production.
              In process inspection is
                conducted continuously by the operator, followed up by the
                inspection department. Inspection is conducted in accordance
                with SPC standards.
              Final inspection is carried out
                prior to shipment.
              Sampling plans are developed in
                accordance with the requirements of ANSI/ASQC Z14-1993.
              All inspection equipment is
                maintained and controlled in accordance with the requirements of
                ANSI/NCSL Z 540-1-1994.
