Alcast Company Quality Policy

The Quality Policy of Alcast Company is to continuously improve production processes to provide products that consistently meet or exceed customer expectations of Quality, Value, and Delivery.

QMS certified to ISO 9001:2015 & PED 2014 by TUV Rheinland of North America

Our permanent mold aluminum foundry quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 & PED 2014 by TÜV Rheinland of North America and is ITAR registered. These certifications ensure that our aluminum castings meet the highest quality, safety, and regulatory compliance standards across industries.

Advanced Quality Planning (AQP) for Precision Manufacturing

Alcast employs Advanced Quality Planning (AQP) to optimize casting performance from prototype to full-scale production:

  • Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) ensures potential defects are identified and mitigated early.
  • Process capability analysis guarantees that critical dimensions meet customer requirements.
  • Comprehensive control plans track consistency across the entire manufacturing cycle.

Our engineers work collaboratively with customers during AQP to ensure castings meet print specifications, performance standards, and cost-efficiency goals.

Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)

Alcast follows PPAP protocols to verify that production tooling delivers consistent, high-integrity aluminum castings:

  • Full-dimensional inspections ensure parts conform to solid model specifications.
  • Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) validation confirms repeatability and precision.
  • Critical characteristics tracking enhances process stability through statistical process control (SPC).

Process Control & Continuous Improvement

Alcast is dedicated to continuous improvement, integrating Lean Manufacturing principles and employee-driven innovations to optimize quality and efficiency.  We maintain strict process control through:

  • Detailed work instructions with visual aids for accurate manufacturing.
  • Calibrated melting, heat treatment, and processing equipment maintained by our in-house team.
  • Predictive and preventative maintenance to ensure operational efficiency.

State-of-the-Art Digital X-Ray Inspection

We utilize advanced digital X-ray technology to detect defects as small as 0.010 inches, ensuring high-integrity castings. All X-ray records are digitally stored and available for customer review, enhancing transparency and traceability.
