How we check and document an order.

ISO 9001IATF 16949Management systems used by the relevant manufacturing sites.

Management systems, laboratory tests within the confirmed scope, and documents tied to each heat support checks from production to shipment.

Management systems guide production. Laboratory results and heat-linked records support release checks against the order requirements.

Laboratory testing and inspection

Tensile. Hardness. Impact.Only the baseline.

Beyond these three, chemical composition, O/N/H gas analysis, metallography, NDT, dimensions and heat-number traceability complete the order-defined release scope.

Additional tests are agreed according to the material and order requirements.

Laboratory accessLaboratory views from JOTAIN’s manufacturing network show the equipment behind chemical analysis, sample preparation and O/N/H testing. For each order, JOTAIN matches the facility, method, scope and records to the confirmed production route.

Gas analysis

Steel cleanliness goes beyond chemistry.

Oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen analysis helps assess steel cleanliness and risks associated with inclusions, embrittlement and hydrogen-related cracking.

Equipment shown: HORIBA EMGA-930 oxygen / nitrogen / hydrogen analyser.

Material Test Certificate

Results tied
to the heat.

An ISO 10474 inspection document connects the ordered grade and heat number to recorded chemistry and mechanical results. The accepted order defines the document type and test scope.

MTC

Grade + Heat number + Chemistry + Mechanical results

Order requirement → tested heat → released shipment

Redacted to protect buyer and transaction details. These examples show how chemistry, mechanical properties, heat identity and batch results are carried through a release document. JOTAIN aligns the issuing mill, test basis and final document set to each accepted route.

Example 02 / Reading the record

Read the sample results.

These values reproduce the first visible mechanical-results row in the redacted MTC shown above. The impact result is reported under a −20°C heading.

Sample values are recorded test results, not acceptance limits for a new order. Confirm the test method, specimen details, material condition and agreed specification before comparing results.

Example 02: mechanical test results
Test fieldReported result
Proof strengthRp0.2615 MPa
Tensile strengthRm795 MPa
ElongationA21.0%
Reduction of areaZ67%
Impact energyKV2 · −20°C41 J

Identity fields are redacted. A shipment traceability check needs the full MTC, linked inspection records, bundle marks and packing list.

Archived lot / 40Cr QT

40Cr lot inspection example

This archived factory inspection record covers 40Cr quenched-and-tempered round bars, 75 mm in diameter and 9,900 mm long. Separate heat and batch identifiers connect the material, delivery condition and recorded results.

These are historical results for one lot. Other orders require their own agreed material standard, delivery condition, dimensions, sampling and acceptance requirements.

Selected results from this lot
Test fieldReported result
Proof strengthRp0.2953 MPa
