Validated processes lead to the highest quality.
Trident Alloys assures the highest level of quality and customer satisfaction with a robust and a proven Quality System that is ISO 9001:2015
Trident Alloys understands that in the military, food service, power generation, water purification and others, that there is no place for pumps, valves, filters, pollution control equipment that don’t meet the very highest standards of quality. We understand that the quality of our castings has a direct impact on the demanding industries and communities that they serve and therefore take this responsibility seriously.
At Trident Alloys, we believe in a comprehensive approach to quality process excellence, including:
- Validation of all processes
- Quality metrology inspection laboratory
Examples are:
- Sand heater/cooler keeps incoming sand at + or - 5 degrees F. This provides high predictability of chemical binder systems.
- Microprocessor controlled continuous mixer provides tight control of binder/catalyst ratio in mixed sand.
- Rollover/draw unit enables deep patterns with minimum draft to be drawn from molds without breaking mold surface or pattern. This reduces sand defects.
- Melting under an argon shield prevents oxidation and slag formation in the molten metal, thereby limiting slag defects in the castings.
- Chemical analysis is performed with a vacuum spectrometer prior to tapping the furnace. This ensures that metal chemistries are within specification parameters.
- Ladles are brought up to temperature by a computer-controlled pre-heater. This provides consistent ladle temperature which increases heat loss predictability in the pouring operation.
- Optimal furnace temperatures are verified by an immersion pyrometer prior to tapping.
- In-house pattern shop enables rigging refinements to be made quickly and correctly.
- Heat treating cycles are performed by computer controlled programs and monitored by chart recorders.
