What is CQI-42? What is it used for?

CQI-42 Forging System Assessment

CQI-42 is a standard that aims to develop a common and standardized approach for manufacturers and service/spare parts organizations involved in the supply chain of forged parts in the automotive industry to evaluate forging processes.

This specific process approach will help ensure product quality, increase process reliability, and meet industry requirements and customer-specific conditions.

From a technical standpoint: CQI-42 can be described as a new AIAG study aimed at the systematic evaluation of forging processes, similar to CQI-9 used for heat treatment processes.
