The Importance of Quality Control in the Metal Stamping Industry
Metal stamping is a form of metalworking that is completed using various levels of difficulty. Almost anyone can form their own jewelry, flowers, numbers and letters out of metal using metal stamping kits or other tools. The higher the quality of the metal used, the longer these personal things will last. Metal stamping is also an industrial fabrication process used to create weaponry, vehicle components, dollar bill changers, vending machines, decorative sheet metal parts, medical life-saving devices, and many other items.
When working with metal stamping in the industrial world, material quality is very important. A metal stamping company may work with aerospace or medical industries creating products that can save lives—if the metal used is of low quality, lives can be destroyed instead.
Quality control is important, from verifying the metal when it's received to complete testing and inspection once the product is completed. Metal stamped parts can be made into fuel injectors for an automobile, engines in an aircraft, bayonet assemblies, and navigation systems used by the military. With components that can take lives if they fail, it's important to ensure the company you're working with takes quality control very seriously.
First inspection of the material when it is received is an important quality control process. If the metal company can verify where the materials that will be used in production come from, it's likely they take care to make sure your components do not fail on you. Material identification provides documentation as to where the metal has been before being used in fabrication; it shows where it's made and how it's transferred. By using metals from reputable sources, metal stampings are more durable, smoother, and last longer than questionable materials.
Metal stamping prototypes are a great way to ensure that the final fabrication of all parts will be correct in tolerance, size, durability, and design. Whether the prototype is a working part or not, working with companies who offer this as an option can mean the difference between getting exactly what you want and a completed order that doesn't match your needs.
Final inspection of the completed component is just as important as material identification. By performing non-destructive testing and other inspection methods on the product, any defaults or other issues will be noticed. A company with high quality standards keeps their rejected products to less than 1%. This shows that quality control is completed during every step of the fabrication process.
Tempco Manufacturing Company is a Minnesota based metal stamping company. For more information on the quality control standards used during the fabrication process visit www.tempcomfg.com.

I'm looking for information about a shotgun that has a stamp on it "SCOTT&Co London"?
I have a double barrel shotgun with a manufacture stamp of "SCOTT&Co London" and I'm interested in finding out more information on it. Anyone know where I can find info?
I have done a lot of reading on old British Shotgun's in the past and here is an excellent article on what you're up against in identifying your weapon.

I was curious as Scott is the famous gun-maker who at some time merged with Webley, and made the now expensive Webley and Scott shotguns. I could find no record of W & C Scott making shotguns under your description. You need to also look up the history of "Best Shotguns" out of London. There were many makers, but I could not find yours listed. It was also not uncommon in those days to make a counterfeit gun using famous sounding names and places.
You need to find an expert in British weapons to assess yours, you probably have damascus (twist) barrels so do not fire this weapon with modern ammo.
