Quality Assurance

Quality Control & Testing

ISO 9001 : 2000 Certified

While some companies just talk a lot about quality, we at Hodge Foundry make quality the focal point of all we do. This quality commitment is evident in how each employee approaches his or her job, as well as in the extensive pre-pour computer modeling, vigorous dimesional and non-destructive testing, and the knowledge-building research and development projects undertaken at Hodge Foundry.

As a world-class organization, we aim for zero defects and reinforce our goals with quality inspections.

The metallurgy of each casting is tested to ensure that it meets the stringent standards necessary for our customers to be successful, and the properties of our sand system are optimized to provide a quality casting surface finish.

Our in-house Leco GDS-750A argon spectrometer (23-channel) accurately measures the elements in the iron to meet ASTM, EN, JIS, or customer-supplied metal specifications.

Moreover, as our industry evolves with new alloys and methods of producing the best quality iron, Hodge Foundry continuously strives to employ the best production practices into our castings.
