1 SURFACE TREATMENTS
1.1.1 Other Metallic Coatings Or Surface Treatments
General
Other surface treatments may be proposed by Talleres Aratz to IDOMs
approval, in order to improve corrosion and wear resistance or to avoid
seizing. This application shall be accompanied with a technical file
demonstrating the suitability of the process, as well as the utilisation and
inspection conditions and the industrial references.
Procedure
For each process used, Talleres Aratz shall draw up a procedure describing
all steps involved in the process. At least it shall specify:

The nature of the materials involved

The conditions under which the parts are prepared and any
precautions and protection required
The nature of the deposit products and the acceptance conditions
The deposit or treatment conditions. If a rise in temperature is
required by the procedure, it shall be checked that the metallurgical
condition inside the part obtained by the Heat Treatment is not
modified.
The inspection methods, giving the scope of the inspection and the
acceptance criteria for each method.

Qualification
The means used in Talleres Aratzs workshops shall be adapted to the
requirements of the procedure used in each particular case. Prior to any
deposit or treatment, Talleres Aratz shall qualify its process in accordance
with the procedure defined above:

An actual part whenever possible,

Representative samples if not.

This qualification shall be accorded when the quality requirements of the

examinations are satisfied.
Definition of lots
A lot is defined as being a number of parts having been subjected to the
same coating process, the same procedure and, where applicable, the same
heat treatment.
Part preparation

Condition of the parts

Before deposit or treatment, the parts shall be examined to ensure

the absence of all defects likely to impair the quality of the deposit in
the application area. The roughness of the surface to be treated shall
comply with the parameters given in procedure.

Cleaning
The parts may be prepared mechanically and/or chemically, as stated
in the requirements of RF 6520 and 6530.

Application of the deposit or treatment and examination

Application
The composition of the baths and the deposit or treatment conditions
shall be periodically inspected and shall comply with the procedure.
The deposit or treatment operations should be performed after the
various heat treatment cycles scheduled for the base material.

Examination
The examinations shall be performed in accordance with the
requirements of procedure.

Repairs
When the examinations specified fail to satisfy all criteria, the deposits on
the part or the lot of parts shall be totally removed. Local repairs shall only
be authorized if they have been simulated during the qualification definition.
Marking and shipment
The marking on the parts shall remain visible after deposit or treatment.
For all unmarked parts, Talleres Aratz shall take the necessary steps to avoid
all identification error. Talleres Aratz shall take all necessary precautions
during packing to prevent damage during transportation, handling and any
storage.

RF 5990 DOCUMENTS
During performance, Talleres Aratz shall draw up documents allowing the
conformity with the procedure to be checked and shall be kept at the
disposal of IDOM and Talleres Aratz. These documents shall in particular
comprise:

The qualification file,

The procurement documents for the deposit materials (powder, fuse
wire, etc.),
The examination results.

1.2 DIMENSIONAL CONTROLS

As part of the component parts manufacturing and quality control, Talleres
Aratz shall carry dimensional controls out. The process shall be performed at
the end of the manufacturing of each part. All the partial dimensional
controls performed during the manufacturing are also covered by this
section. The procedure to perform these controls shall be proposed by
Talleres Aratz and delivered to IDOM.
Measuring tools
Talleres Aratz will perform the control of the dimensions, by means of the
tools required for each measurement and which are available in the
workshop:

Dial gauge
Precision measuring tool for taking measurements in hundredths of a
millimetre, having a plunger or contact arm and
a dial face with needle to register measurement. This measuring tool
could be used for partial or final measurements.

Micrometer caliper
Precision instrument with aspindle moved by a finely threaded screw,
for the measurement ofthicknesses and short lengths. This measuring
tool will be used by milling operator for partial measurements.

Laser Tracker
Extremely accurate, portable coordinate measuring instrument that
enables you to build products, optimize processes, and deliver
solutions by measuring quickly, simply and precisely. It
measures large objects by determining the positions of optical targets
held against those objects. This measuring tool will be used for final
measurements and by means of qualified personnel.

Coordinate measuring machine

Accurate device for measuring the physical geometrical
characteristics of an object, taking readings in six degrees of freedom.
Measurements are defined by a probe attached to the third moving
axis of this machine. This machine will be manually controlled by a
qualified operator. This measuring tool will be used for final
measurements.

Monitoring of the measuring tools

Talleres Aratz shall fulfil at least with the following requirements:

Talleres Aratz shall identify and monitor all the measuring tools that
will be used during the manufacturing of the component parts.

All the measure records shall include the tool identification number
for traceability reasons.
Talleres Aratz shall draft as much procedures as measuring tool they
have for maintenance and calibrating monitoring. These procedures
will be available for IDOM or VTT/CEA.

Personnel Qualification
All the personnel that is part of the dimensional control shall be qualified
and needs to guarantee the minimum knowledges for the utilization of the
tools previously aforementioned. Special attention to the personnel that will
manipulate laser tracker and coordinate measuring machine, who shall
demonstrate its qualification and minimum knowledges by means of
certificates (to be included in Personnel Qualification Scheme).

Dimensions to be controlled

Controls traceability
Records stablished to provide evidence of the dimensional control of
requirements conformity and of the effective operation of the quality
management, Talleres Aratz shall controlled and monitor all the dimensional
controls.
All the records shall be legible, readily identifiable and retrievable. They
shall include component parts identification code to guarantee the
traceability of the manufacturing.
