QUALITY
Aluminium castings with such high requirements have to go through stringent tests. THONI-ALUTEC offer its customers a vast variety of state of the art test equipment to monitor all processes and to evaluate the soundness of the castings. This starts with the incoming inspection of raw materials and can end with testing machined castings for integrity. For all these procedures we have skilled and certified staff at our disposal, which are authorized to issue certificates according to international standards. |

Non-destructive tests
Our aluminium castings can be x-rayed in 2 CNC controlled chambers with a maximum size of x = 12 m , y = 3,5 m ,
z = 4 m.
This makes it one of largest x-ray facilities of its kind in Europe. . |

Pressure and tightness test
To define whether a casting is sound and tight we can peform a pressure and tighness test in 2 vacuum chambers. These machines give us an indication on the leak rate of each individual casting. |
