Analyzing Production Process
Analyzing the drawing, Chemical & Mechanical Properties

MSF is able to produce all types of low
and high alloy steels. Our first concern is
to meet the needs of our customers. To
ensure success, these two items are the
first to be addressed. In some cases our
metallurgists will discuss with customers
to change the chemistry of their product,
provided that it has the desired
mechanical properties.
Analyzing Casting Design

Before a mould is made or a casting is
poured, the MSF engineer renders the
design using Solid Work and Magmasoft.
This advanced, 3-dimensional technology
not only allows you to "see" the casting
before it's made, it provides the
opportunity to test it for potential Material
Flow or solidification problems.

Inspection requirement
Chemical Composition

With the new Spectrolab,
daily calibration and using
ABS software for alloy
addition calculation, we are
confident about the
accuracy of the final
chemistry of MSF products.
Generated Data by
Spectrolab is saved directly
to our data bank and
monitored daily to prevent
any problems.
Inspection requirement
Mechanical Property

After arranging chemical
properties with our
customer, heat treatment
process is defined to reach
the desired mechanical
properties. Mechanical
properties of every single
heat are controlled with
our new Tensile test
machine. Data verified and
saved in our data bank for
later use and traceability.
Inspection requirement
Mechanical Property

By using our small lab
furnace, Heat
Treatment process is
verified for desired
mechanical properties.
Approved Heat
Treatment apply on
two production heat
treat furnaces in the
shop.
Inspection requirement
Others

MSF control casting
hardness, NDT ( X-Ray,
Dye check, Magnetic
Particle Test) and DT
(Sectioning the casting)
based on customer
requests.
Process Control

After receiving and inspecting Mold Patterns,
every step of production is controlled to be
sure about the final quality. Some of these
controlling steps are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Mechanical property of Mold and core sand
Operation parameters in molding line
Tapping temperature & pouring time
Alloy addition by using ABS software
Mold Shake out time
Welding and cleaning of casting
Quality Control

MSF quality objectives are


Customer satisfaction
On-time delivery
Safe continues improvement of product and processes
Target reduced rework
Besides these controlling steps we are using
an internal quality trend alert system which is
originated by individuals in the workshop and
which alerts us as soon as any issue occurs in
the shop. Trends follow immediately and
report send back to originator of trend alert.
Delivery Plan
On-Time Delivery Commitment. We
continually strive to increase our On-Time
performance by working with Customers
and knowing their requirements.
 As requested, we can arrange shipments
throughout North America for our
Customers using local carriers at the best
competitive rates.
