Materials Expertise
- Aluminum: Manufacturers use aluminum for visible parts and details because of its attractive appearance and light weight. Companies can also easily form alloys with aluminum and other metals to make stronger or more durable varieties.
- Copper: This metal resists corrosion, is ductile, has an attractive finish, and is affordable. Companies can also choose copper for environmentally conscious customers; the metal is easy to recycle and reuse.
- Stainless Steel: This metal resists corrosion and rust because it has a makeup of at least 11% chromium. Not only does it have increased durability, but it also has a lustrous, attractive surface.
- Steel and Steel Alloys: Steel alloys come in many different varieties, such as mild steel, high-strength steel, and specialized steel that can be used to create a variety of durable parts.
Quality Assurance and Certifications
To maximize quality across all of our services, American Industrial operates with a rigorous approach to quality management. Our ISO 9001 certification means that we adhere to some of the strictest quality control standards in the industry. Among our advanced quality control equipment and processes is our Statistical Process Control (SPC) protocol, which entails real-time monitoring of part dimensions for any potential deviations. We also employ various pieces of inspection equipment for quality control, including:
- MicroVu optical measurement systems that enable highly precise dimensional checks
- In-line sensors such as infrared retro-reflective lasers and press equipment with fiber optics to quickly detect misfeeds or part ejection errors
- GAGEtrak software for maintaining gauge calibration schedules
All of these processes and systems enable consistently high quality and traceability for our customers with every solution.
