Automotive-Grade Quality You Can Prove.
ISO 9001:2015 registered and CQI-9 compliant — backed by the process controls to deliver consistent hardness on every part, in every lot.
Qualifications Your Buyers Can Audit.
The approvals that let automotive and industrial programs source from HTI with confidence.
ISO 9001:2015
HTI’s quality management system is registered to ISO 9001:2015 — the international standard for consistent, repeatable process control — through PRI Registrar. Continuously registered since 2016.
CQI-9
Compliant with CQI-9, the automotive industry’s heat-treat system assessment (AIAG) — the benchmark that automotive buyers use to evaluate a heat treater’s process quality.
When Failure Is Not An Option.
Certifications set the bar; process control is how we hold it. HTI’s systems are built to deliver the same result on the first part and the millionth.
- Repeatable furnace loadingComputerized autoloaders load every furnace uniformly for consistent, repeatable results.
- Continuous foreign-material reductionAn ongoing process protects part cleanliness lot to lot.
- Consistent hardnessProcess controls hold hardness consistent throughout every part, in every lot.
- Continuous improvementOngoing refinement of the process drives lot-to-lot repeatability over time.
- Smart barcode integration (qualified programs)For qualified customer programs, a barcoded traveler automatically communicates with the furnace control system, instantly populating the correct recipe to eliminate manual errors.
- Full traceability & CQI-9 complianceAdvanced data collection software continuously logs critical parameters, generating production reports that document full CQI-9 compliance and complete process transparency.
