Thermal Treatments (advice based on AIAG CQI-9)
The CQI-9 is a standard created by the AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) in March 2006 for audits in Heat Treatment processes and is currently in its 3rd. Edition. THE Most automakers consider adherence to the CQI-9 standard mandatory for all parts suppliers that have heat-treated components.
For these companies, the audit based on the CQI-9 standard will be able to identify areas related to heat treatment processes that need improvement, based on best industrial practices. The CQI-9 standard emphasizes system management, defect prevention and reduction of variations and losses in the production chain.
Among the advantages is mainly the reduction of failures in heat treatment processes, some even involving security risks, warranty recalls and customer complaints.
METAL-EXATO has extensive experience in CQI-9 audits and offers an overview of the 57 requirements of the standard focusing on the client's process, usually done in 2 days, followed by a report identifying the actions to conform to CQI-9. IT'S more effective than mere training and will facilitate the company's adherence to the CQI-9 as it is focused on your real needs.

Douglas - Metallurgist Engineer
_JPG.jpg)
My name is Douglas de Paula e Silva. I am a metallurgist engineer graduated from Escola de Engenharia Mauá in 1977 with a master's degree from Escola Politécnica da USP (EPUSP) in 1993. I have a specialization in steel technology at Nippon Steel Co. (Japan) as well as in Business Administration at FEAUSP. I am also a lead ISO9000 auditor for DNV and Black Belt for Ford Motor Co.
I was also a professor at SENAI for 12 years, I taught some courses at the Mauá School of Engineering and at USP and internal training at the companies where I worked. I am currently part of the Technical Committee of the AEA (Association of Automotive Engineering), as well as monitor courses at SAE and IQA.
During the 42 years of my professional life, as an executive and technician, in companies such as COSIPA/Usiminas, Thyssenkrupp, Schmolz+Bickenbach and finally at Ford Motor Company, I have always worked in the Metallurgy area, in particular with Failure Analysis in Service of Components, Metallography, Heat Treatments, Tool Steel development and most recently as a heat treatment process auditor based on CQI-9 for Ford in South America.
I conceived the " METAL-EXATO" to provide services in the areas of my knowledge, namely:
-
Failure analysis in materials, parts and components
-
Translation and adaptation of standards and procedures. METAL EXATO translated and adapted the AIAG CQI-9 (Thermal Treatments), CQI-12 (Coatings) and CQI-29 (Brasagem, 1st Edition) standards for Brazil.
-
Thermal Treatments (advice based on AIAG CQI-9)
-
In-company training (Metallurgy for Non-Metallurgists, CQI-9 4th edition, MASP, FMEA, CEP)
Acting directly with the customer, providing faster and cheaper solutions.
It is my understanding that most metal problems do not require the use of improved analysis techniques. Often an observation with the naked eye already gives a good indication of what happened, without the need for more elaborate and expensive laboratory techniques, such as the use of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
Experience, combined with traditional laboratory techniques, is still the great tool for a quick and effective resolution of most processes in metals.
Alongside my technical activities, I always worked and in technical training. I am very proud to have trained hundreds of people in all these years.
