AUTOMOTIVE
In the manufacturing of automotive parts, not only is a quality management system required, but also the proper management of process and measurements in special process such as heat treatment.
This page organizes information related to temperature measurement, control, recording, monitoring, and calibration, including IATF 16949 and CQI-9, in connection with quality control.
START HERE
When you start researching quality control in the automotive industry, you'll encounter a variety of terms such as IATF 16949, customer-specific requirements, CQI-9, TUS, SAT, and calibration.
It's important not only to memorize these individually, but also to understand the interconnectedness of quality management, special process, measurement, recording, and calibration.
This document outlines the relationship between quality management systems in the automotive industry and ISO 9001, as well as practical points to consider.
What is IATF 16949?This document explains the evaluation of special process related to heat process, including the management of TUS/SAT and measuring instruments.
What is CQI-9?QUALITY
Quality Management
This document outlines the differences between IATF 16949, the quality management system for the automotive industry, and ISO 9001, as well as practical considerations and its relationship to measurement and calibration.
Special process and heat treatments
This guide explains the fundamentals of AIAG's heat treatment system evaluation, including the 4th edition, TUS/SAT, temperature sensors, recording, and calibration—points you'll want to check in practice.
RELATIONSHIP
IATF 16949 is a standard that covers the entire quality management system in the automotive industry. On the other hand, CQI-9 focuses on the specialized process of heat treatment and outlines the matters necessary for evaluating and improving heat treatment systems.
whole
This covers the entire quality management landscape in the automotive industry, including quality management systems, process control, and customer-specific requirements.
special process
We evaluate process, equipment, measurement, and system accuracy for heat treatment process.
Practical work
In actual process, sensors, measuring instruments, recording, and calibration support the reliability of quality data.
MEASUREMENT
In heat treatment, it's not enough to just look at the set temperature; you also need to consider the actual temperature inside the furnace and how to record and verify those measurements.
TUS / SAT
TUS is used to check the temperature distribution inside the furnace, while SAT is used to check the accuracy of the measurement system. Understanding the purpose and differences of each is important when considering the evaluation of the heat treatment process.
See the CQI-9 article for more details.Temperature Sensor
Temperature sensors such as thermocouples are selected considering factors such as the temperature to be measured, the operating environment, accuracy, and responsiveness.

A system that properly records measured temperatures and allows for the detection of abnormalities or changes is also an important element of quality control.

In quality control, it's not just about recording measurements, but also about maintaining those values in a reliable state. This involves continuously monitoring the condition, calibration, and traceability of sensors and measuring instruments.
This section explains the mechanism for comparing the measured value with a reference and checking the difference between the measured value and the reference value.
What iscalibration?From the perspective of quality control and traceability, we will organize the types of calibration and how to choose them.
View JCSS calibration and general calibration.This section explains how to determine the calibration cycle based on factors such as frequency of use, environment, required accuracy, and past calibration results.
