Quality Control Priority Overview
Quality is embedded into every stage of our production. Our complete quality control system follows a rigorous eight-step cycle: Supplier Audit → Incoming Material Inspection → In-Process Control → Dimensional & Performance Testing → Final Inspection → Packaging Check → Batch Traceability → Customer Feedback & Continuous Improvement.
Raw Material and Pre-Production Control
For expansive mortar, drill bits, drill rods, DTH tools, and other quarrying equipment, quality begins at the source. All suppliers must provide:
- Material Certificate — verifying compliance with specified standards
- Heat Number / Batch Number — for full traceability
- Chemical Composition Report — confirming alloy and raw material chemistry
- Hardness or Mechanical Property Report — validating physical characteristics
- Traceable Batch Identification — assigned to every production lot
Quality Control for Expansive Mortar
Expansive mortar demands precise control over chemical and physical properties. Key quality targets include stable chemical reaction, consistent expansive pressure, predictable cracking time, excellent moisture resistance, and safe field performance.
Temperature-Based Classification
| Product Type | Validated Parameters |
| Low-Temperature Type | Working temperature, water-to-powder ratio, hole diameter, spacing, cracking time |
| Normal-Temperature Type | Standard range verification for everyday applications |
| High-Temperature Type | Elevated temperature stability, blowout risk assessment |
| Large-Hole Type | Extended reaction control for oversized boreholes |
| Delayed-Cracking Type | Timed reaction profile, predictable delay window |
Batch Testing Protocol
Every batch undergoes: Sample → Mix to standard ratio → Fill test holes → Record temperature → Record cracking time → Record final result → Archive for traceability.
Quality Control for Drill Bits
Drill bit quality depends on five factors: steel body strength, tungsten carbide grade, heat treatment precision, dimensional accuracy, and carbide button fixing strength.
Common Failure Modes
| Failure Mode | Root Cause | Prevention |
| Button Loss | Improper hole tolerance, weak interference fit, poor brazing | Pull-out testing, interference fit inspection |
| Bit Breakage | Excessive hardness, material defects, stress concentration | Hardness profiling, material certification |
| Abnormal Wear | Carbide grade mismatch to rock formation | Grade-to-application matching protocol |
| Thread Damage | Inaccurate thread size or poor hardness | Thread gauge inspection, Rockwell testing |
| Hole Deviation | Poor concentricity or incorrect button arrangement | Concentricity measurement, image analysis |
Beyond appearance checks, each batch is subjected to hardness testing, button retention testing, and simulated drilling performance testing.
Quality Control for Drill Rods
Core quality targets for drill rods: material toughness, straightness, uniform heat treatment, thread strength, fatigue resistance, and flushing hole integrity.
Key Risk Factors
- Rod Bending — compromises hole straightness and drilling accuracy
- Premature Thread Wear — leads to loose connections and difficult disassembly
- Thread Root Fracture — caused by improper heat treatment or machining defects
- Fatigue Fracture — results from internal steel defects or poor core toughness
- Flushing Hole Blockage — reduces drilling efficiency and cuttings removal
