This document explains how to review a material certificate to ensure the received raw material matches requirements. It describes that a quality control engineer reviews the certificate to verify fields like the heat number, material grade, product specifications, dimensions, mechanical properties, and chemical analysis are correct. The certificate must contain these identifiers and test results to prove the material's traceability and compliance with the ordered specifications. A mill representative must also sign the certificate to certify its accuracy. The purpose is to confirm the right material is used for manufacturing to reduce risks and costs.

We will take example for Mill cert’, other cert’ is same procedure. 1. Mill cert: A Certified Mill Test Report (CMTR) is a quality assurance document generated by the raw material manufacturer and provided with the material to intermediate suppliers and ultimately to a finished goods manufacturer. Whether it’s called a CMTR, Mill Test Report (MTR), Mill Certification, Metallurgical Test Report, or similar name, this document provides the end user of the raw material verification that the material received matches the requirements of their order. CMTRs are also used to maintain traceability of the material from its initial inception to its inclusion in a finished part. 2. Mill cert review process: The QC Engineer ( or equivalent dept’ ) is responsible for review of the CMTR to ensure it meets the engineering and order requirements. Below we have summarized what QC engineers are reviewing, so that only the correct materials are issued to the shop for manufacturing. This being another way we support our promise to Reduce Project Risk and achieve the lowest total cost of ownership for our customers.

CMTR FIELD EXPLANATION: ▪ Point 01 – Material Heat Number Material manufacturers can identify raw material in different ways, using lot, coil or other identifying numbers, but ultimately all CMTRs will identify the material with a Heat Number. The heat number is used to maintain traceability of the material. When matching a CMTR to its raw material all accompanying paper work and in many cases markings on the raw material itself must match the heat number on the CMTR. ▪ Point 02 – Material Grade Metal materials are produced in various grades. The CMTR identifies the grade of the material. ▪ Point 03 – Product Specifications Met: this case is JIS standard. CMTRs certify that the raw material meets the appropriate JIS standard. The product specifications that the raw material meets are listed on the CMTR. ▪ Point 04 – Material Dimensions The CMTR identifies the applicable dimensions of the raw material. In the case of plate material this would be the thickness, round bar the diameter, or flat bar the thickness and width. This information must match the order requirements. ▪ Point 05 & 06 – Mechanical Properties / Chemical Analysis The product specification lists the detailed requirements that the raw material must meet to be certified to that product specification and grade. The actual measured properties of the raw material are recorded on the CMTR for the identified heat number. These properties typically consist of the Mechanical Properties, (#5), and Chemical Analysis, (#6), The values listed on the CMTR must fall within the range or limits of the product specification for the raw material to be accepted for use. ▪ Point 07 – Heat Treatment Depending on the raw material, there may be other requirements in the product specification. For example, 300 series stainless steels require a specific heat treatment which must be recorded on the CMTR. The reviewer must identify all special processes in the product specification and confirm they are properly recorded on the CMTR. ▪ Point 08 – Certified Mill Signature Finally the CMTR must be certified with the signature of a responsible employee of the foundry or mill producing the raw material. See above attached. Certified Mill Test Reports provide a record of traceability and properties of a raw material, ensuring that the material will perform in the way it was designed to. Deviations from product specification values can have large consequences, even causing a component failure. Summary: The Certified Mill Test Report is a tool used to ensure that received raw material matches the engineering and purchase order requirements.
