Incoming Raw Material Inspection
Inspect incoming raw materials Brazing wire, flux chemicals, minerals, and packing materials.
Verify Mill Test Certificates (MTC) / Certificates of Analysis (COA) against specifications.
Conduct visual and dimensional checks of core wire and raw materials.
Ensure proper identification, traceability, and segregation of accepted/rejected materials.
Raise Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) for rejected materials.
2. In-Process Quality Control
Review of special process records.
Drying and DHR cycles (temperature & time) review.
Ensure adherence to approved process parameters and work instructions.
Perform routine inspections for coating uniformity, cracks, and surface defects.
Control and record process deviations.
3. Finished Product Inspection & Testing
Inspect finished electrodes for:
Length, diameter, coating thickness
Coating adhesion and integrity
Surface finish and marking
Conduct or coordinate mechanical and welding tests such as:
Tensile strength
Bend test
Elongation
Weldability and arc stability




Verify compliance with applicable standards (AWS / IS / EN).
Approve or reject batches based on test results.
4. Laboratory Testing & Equipment Control
Review routine lab testing of raw materials and finished electrodes test results.
Ensure proper handling and preparation of test samples.
Maintain and monitor calibration status of testing instruments.
Ensure accuracy and repeatability of test results.
5. Documentation & Record Keeping
Maintain accurate records of:
Incoming inspection reports
In-process inspection logs
Final inspection and test reports
Ensure full batch traceability from raw material to finished product.
Prepare daily, weekly, and batch quality reports.
Follow document control requirements as per ISO 9001.
6. Non-Conformance & Corrective Actions
Identify and report non-conforming products and processes.
Assist in root cause analysis (RCA) of defects.
Support implementation and verification of corrective and preventive actions
