Quality control ensures that fabricated components meet the required specifications and tolerances. Key steps include:

  • Dimensional Checks: Using calipers, micrometers, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM).
  • Weld Inspections: Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like X-rays or ultrasonic testing to detect defects.
  • Surface Finish Checks: Ensuring consistent finishes, thickness of coatings, or anodizing layers.

Material Testing: Verifying properties like tensile strength and hardness using standardized tests (e.g., ASTM standards).
