The forging industry is central to offering unique value for critical manufacturing segments and facilitates the development and production of intermediate products that are widely used by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in the production of durable goods. In the forging industry, technological advancement provides a competitive edge for any organisation and can determine its position in the industry.
At Balu, the adoption of technology is at the forefront, and has significantly led the organisation to become one of the leaders in the forging industry over the past decades. Several OEMs within India and around the world prefer Balu Forge for any forged crankshafts and components needs. With one of the best key tech solutions, Balu provides unparalleled quality standards and services to its customers.
How does Balu ensure consistent quality delivery?
- Quality Control
The 'Quality First' culture inculcated at Balu is followed throughout the organisation ensures the promise of conforming to the quality standards and expectations laid by the patrons and partners globally is maintained.
2. In-Process Inspection
For any machining work, in-process inspection defines a crucial layer in the quality control flow. It enables the elimination of defects, if any, in the early production process and increases the efficiency of the whole operation.
3. Crack Testing, Demagnetization & Stress Relieving
This process involves subjecting parts to crack testing twice in the production process, namely post heat treatment and post grinding. Furthermore, in order to completely avoid brittleness of parts post heat treatment and prior to the grinding process, stress relieving is carried out as the final process.
4. The Metallurgical Lab
The Metallurgical Laboratory is fully equipped with hardness testers and metallurgical microscopes, and is regularly upgraded with the latest instruments and equipment. The metallurgical testing process at Balu helps evaluate surface and internal features, defects, and material characteristics. At every stage, all inward raw material is tested and per lot one unit is cut to check the pattern of hardness and material flow.
This process determines the convenience of the metal material’s mechanical features. Balu uses both in-house and outsourced pulsators and electrodynamic shakers to conduct fatigue tests as per customer requirements.
Balu's in-house capability and state-of-the-art automotive engineering enable it to manufacture crankshafts with the latest equipment, instruments, technologies, and highly skilled workforce, which allows it to set industrial standards for others by providing innovative and customised solutions.
