Normalizing vs. Annealing
In this section, you learn about the difference between normalizing and annealing. Cooling Differences: One major difference between annealing and normalizing is the rate of cooling. During normalizing, we cool the material in still air to produce a fine and tough grain structure. On the other hand, the workpiece is slowly cooled inside the […]
Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) in the Custom Processing Industry
The custom processing industry, which includes job shops, CNC machining, precision molding, and specialty fabrication, is inherently defined by variable orders, unique specifications, and often, low-volume, high-mix production. This variability makes a robust CAPA system not just a quality standard (like ISO 9001) requirement, but a critical business practice for survival and growth. CAPA is […]
