| As
castings are processed in the cleaning room, several non-destructive testing
methods are used in the inspection process. At some point in the process
each casting goes through 100% magnetic particle inspection. Harrison Steel
has 11 dry powder and 3 wet-magnetic particle inspection stations. |

Steel’s layout department is housed in a 1370 square foot facility built
in 1982. It is capable
of handling castings up to 12,500 pounds. A certified layout person performs dimensional testing on all
new pattern equipment, sample parts and periodic production audits. The
facility houses 2 Bendix Portage
Layout Machine (Model 60A) that sit atop a 5-section layout table. Each machine has a 25” multi axis rotary table. The tables are able to handle castings up to 4000 pounds. Machines are able to check a 60” (3048mm) x 92” (2337mm) envelope
with the aide of the rotary table. Tolerances on these two machines are ±.004”. In
addition to the Model 60A, the facility also has a model 84A. This sits atop a 6-section table. The tables are arranged to provide an 11.5’x12. 5’ works surface. This allows us to check an 84” (2134mm) x 100” (2540) envelope. Tolerances on this machine is also ±. 004”.

Harrison Steel maintains
one of the industry's top Radiographic Inspection Facilities. Built in
1989, the facility contains over 3,900 square feet of space. Two exposure
vaults, measuring 15'8" x 17'5", provides plenty of space to
gamma ray large parts with ease. Harrison Steel's facility has 3 radioactive
isotopes. One vault contains a cobalt 60 source and an iridium 192 source,
while the other contains another cobalt 60 source. Film is developed in-house
with the use of an automatic film processor.
