Quality assurance
Nothing leaves this plant on an assumption
Chemistry, mechanical properties, dimensions and surface are all verified — and the results ship with the material, tied to the heat it came from.
The approach
Control during production, verify before dispatch
A final inspection can reject a bad bar. It cannot make a good one. So the controls that decide quality are the ones running during production — scale fully removed before drawing, die condition monitored, lubrication maintained, straightening treated as a controlled operation.
Final inspection then confirms what those controls produced: diameter across the tolerance band, straightness, surface condition and cut length, checked against the ordered specification rather than a general standard.
The last step is documentation. Every consignment ships with a Kalika test certificate carrying the heat number, alongside the original mill certificate for that heat — so your incoming inspection has certified chemistry rather than an assumed grade.
Checkpoints
Where quality is checked in the process
- 01
Raw Material
About this step- Heat number recorded against the consignment
- Mill test certificate verified against ordered grade
- Weighbridge slip reconciled with declared weight
- Visual inspection for surface defects and scale condition
- 02
Shot Blasting
About this step- Complete scale removal verified across the full bar length
- Surface uniformity checked before release to drawing
- Shot condition and blast media monitored
- 03
Cold Drawing
About this step- Drawn diameter verified against the specified tolerance band
- Surface finish inspected along the drawn length
- Die condition monitored and change recorded
- Line, shift, operator, die and date logged against heat number
- 04
Straightening & Cutting
About this step- Straightness verified against specification
- Cut length consistency checked across the batch
- End condition inspected — square, burr-free
- 05
Inspection & Bundling
About this step- Diameter verified against the ordered tolerance band
- Straightness and surface condition confirmed
- Bundle weight recorded on the in-house scale
- QR tag applied and linked to heat number in ERP
