THE "Q" FACTOR

Quality at Kartik Steels goes beyond the realms of being a standard that has to be adhered to. It has in fact, become a way of life for its personnel. With absolutely no

compromise on quality, the Kartik man has sought to choose the tortuous path to attain perfection in his castings. It is with this ideology and well-defined plant standards, that the team performs day after day in bringing out the best of high-integrity castings. And the development of special alloy castings for the refinery application are part of an import substitution effort by Kartik. This has given the company a national significance and has, in the process, earned the approbation of prestigious clients. It is now getting integrated with quality of M/s Manoir  Petrochem & Nuclear of France.  Our quality systems  are cetified TUV NORD under ISO 9001:2008.  We are also in the process to obtain ISO 27000 / 14000.

Training is an intrinsic HRD facet in the company. The technicians are imparted the special skills required in the relevant field to handle hi-tech test equipment, to carry out demanding test procedures and to interpret results. New samples are developed under a structured sample development program that is being effectively implemented. Thus, it is small wonder that only the best quality products leave the foundry premises to reach the client.

The plant houses a modern well-equipped laboratory with state-of-the-art test facilities like the Sand Testing Laboratory, and a Vacuum Emission Spectrometer, a Chemical Laboratory, Metallurgical Laboratory with Microscope and a Physical Laboratory with a Universal Testing Machine, Hardness Tester and an Impact tester and also a Stress Rupture testing machine.

The facilities also include hot tensile (high tensile testing) and stress rupture testing. We can also conduct low temperature impact test. On the NDT, we have facility for Gama Ray Radiography, Ultrasonic testing, Magnaflux, Die Penetrant, Ultrasonic Thickness Guage and Library with all relevant standards, etc. We adopt green sand, CO2, air-set and no-bake process of mouldings. With the above facilities we can manufacture castings from 1 Kg to more than 3600 Kgs and we also have manufacturing facility to produce centrifugally-cast castings, especially for balls for Ball Valves.
