Metal industry documentation sounds bureaucratic, yet it is what separates a trusted supplier from a gamble. Consequently, when you order nickel alloy or wear plate, the mill test certificate (MTC) matters as much as the material itself. Here is the documentation packet we ship with every order, and why each piece matters.

Document 1: Mill Test Certificate (MTC)

The MTC records chemistry and mechanical properties from the original heat. Furthermore, it carries the heat number that traces the plate back to the furnace. Consequently, if a part fails in service, engineers trace the root cause. We ship MTC EN 10204 3.1 with every order.

Document 2: PMI Report (for Nickel Alloys)

Positive Material Identification (PMI) uses XRF to verify the material on your floor. Furthermore, it catches mislabeled or substituted material. Consequently, for Hastelloy and Inconel orders, we include a PMI report by default.

Document 3: Dimensional Inspection Report

We measure thickness, width, length, and flatness before packing. Furthermore, we record hardness on wear plate and mold steel. Consequently, you do not discover out-of-tolerance stock after the container arrives.

Document 4: Packing List and Export Documents

Every shipment carries:

• Packing list with bundle weights and marks.
• Commercial invoice.
• Certificate of origin (on request).
• Bill of lading.

Consequently, your customs broker clears the cargo without delays.

Document 5: Heat Number on Every Bundle

We mark every bundle with grade, heat number, dimensions, and weight. Furthermore, the MTC matches those marks. Consequently, your warehouse identifies stock without cutting open a bundle.

Products That Come with Full Documentation

We apply the same documentation standard across product families:

• Hastelloy C-276 Plate with MTC 3.1 + PMI.
• H13 / SKD61 Mold Steel with MTC + hardness report.
