Mastering Quality Control in PHS: From Process Monitoring to Precision Inspection!


This one-day advanced training is designed to sharpen your skills in quality assurance for press hardened components. You’ll gain a deep understanding of how process parameters influence product quality and how to detect, analyse, and prevent common production defects.
Through expert-led theory sessions and hands-on lab work at our fully automated pilot plant, you’ll explore how thermal and mechanical variables impact the outcome. You’ll use advanced tools such as thermography, non-destructive mechanical testing, and 3D optical measurement to monitor and assess component quality in real-time.
This training bridges the gap between process control and final inspection—giving you the insight and tools to ensure quality at every stage of press hardening.

Target Audience
