How does Balu ensure consistent quality delivery?
Quality Control
The 'Quality First' culture inculcated at Balu is followed throughout the organisation ensures the promise of conforming to the quality standards and expectations laid by the patrons and partners globally is maintained.
2. In-Process Inspection
For any machining work, in-process inspection defines a crucial layer in the quality control flow. It enables the elimination of defects, if any, in the early production process and increases the efficiency of the whole operation.
3. Crack Testing, Demagnetization & Stress Relieving
This process involves subjecting parts to crack testing twice in the production process, namely post heat treatment and post grinding. Furthermore, in order to completely avoid brittleness of parts post heat treatment and prior to the grinding process, stress relieving is carried out as the final process.
4. The Metallurgical Lab
The Metallurgical Laboratory is fully equipped with hardness testers and metallurgical microscopes, and is regularly upgraded with the latest instruments and equipment. The metallurgical testing process at Balu helps evaluate surface and internal features, defects, and material characteristics. At every stage, all inward raw material is tested and per lot one unit is cut to check the pattern of hardness and material flow.
5. Fatigue/Durability Testing
This process determines the convenience of the metal material’s mechanical features. Balu uses both in-house and outsourced pulsators and electrodynamic shakers to conduct fatigue tests as per customer requirements.
Balu's in-house capability and state-of-the-art automotive engineering enable it to manufacture crankshafts with the latest equipment, instruments, technologies, and highly skilled workforce, which allows it to set industrial standards for others by providing innovative and customised solutions.
