1. 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.
