When heat treating complex parts, such as aerospace and defense components, businesses in the industry rely on an accreditation agency to enforce high standards to ensure safe, reliable products.
The Nadcap program:
- Keeps aircraft in the sky, submarines underwater, satellites in orbit and weapons systems functioning as intended
- Certifies heat treaters to conduct business in the aerospace and defense industries
- Replaced the expensive and inefficient individual supplier audits aerospace and defense OEMs historically conducted on their own
- Sets strict requirements regarding all aspects of heat treat operation.
“Nadcap requirements are quite prescriptive. Other industry standards programs give suppliers varying amounts of leeway en route to achieving the benchmarks they set. Nadcap features no such liberty. It’s their way or the highway.” – Paulo
