Happy Steels Pvt. Ltd. (HSPL) came into being in the year 1973 and today with 32 years of experience is one of the India's largest automotive component manufacturing and exporting entity. It is spread over an area of 18150 sq. meters in Ludhiana, state of Punjab, India, which lies 290 Kms. north of New Delhi, and is well connected by rail, road & air from New Delhi. It has 250 employees and is equipped with 100% captive power.

The Quality Standards of the company have been attested by
DET NORSKE VERITAS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CERTIFICATE
, which has certified the company as ISO-9001-2000.

SCOPE OF CERTIFICATION BY D.N.V:
Manufacturing and supply of Axles for TRUCKS, TRACTORS, CARS, JEEPS, and other automotive forged and machined components.

The company has trained manpower and engineers who apply state of art technology to convert drawings into components -meeting delivery schedules every "ON TIME". Autocad aided design, coupled with latest statistical techniques, ensure compliance to quality standards. Starting from raw material stage till finished product. Control plan, stringent checks, patrol inspection ensure zero defect product at no extra cost to buyer:

The company produces Million Quality Components per year, which are engineered to the demanding specifications of its customers in C.S., Alloy Steel, Chromium Steel, Rear Axle Shafts, Steel Forgings, Drive Shafts, Tail Pinions, Yokes (Front Axle Shafts), Knuckles and customized forgings for LCV / MCV / HCV / SUV / MUV / Passenger Cars / Vans / Jeeps. 

FORGING PLANT

It is well equipped with Horizontal Up-setters, to produce close tolerance forgings upto 300 mm in dia X 1200 mrn length and can handle stock upto 150 mm diameter. Bar End Heater is used for heating steel stock.

Steel is procured form prime re-rollers in the country and is subject to in-plant physical check viz.- Jominy Hardenability, Step down analysis, Micro check, inclusion rating, Grain size and Chemical naalysis. Stage of art modern laboratory is equipped with metallurgical microscope with MIAS software to check the following. 

Graphite Hakes : ASTM-A-247-67
Grain Size : ASTM - E - 112
Inclusion Rating : ASTM - E - 45/E 1245
Percentage, volume area fraction & distribution of phases to
: ASTM - E - 562 & E1247-55
Measurement of banding : ASTM - B - 276
Porosity   ASTM-B-276
Nodularity : ASTM-247
Grain Craks : C.P.L.I. (Cracks pulinear jnck)

MIAS provides superior tools for visualization, enhancement, measurement, processing and analysis of image data. Metallurgist has the flexibility to automatically capture images from scientific grade Digital and video CCD cameras. Trace ability of forging to finished product is through unique system of heat codes , supplier code and transparency in records. Grain flow is checked and all forgings are 100% ultrasonically tested.

HEAT TREATMENT:

Realizing the importance of heat treatment to forging -HSPL has installed mechanical charger: 

ISO Thermal Annealing/ Hardening and Tempering Heat Treatment Plant system,

SHOT BLASTING
Shot blasting contiously rotating batch arrangement in machine provides smooth surface finish and removes all scaleing as a result of heat treatment.

MACHINE SHOP 

Is fully equipped with "WMW", CNC machines, horizontal & vertical Hobbing machines, copy turning, grinding, spindle drilling & broaching machines to provide consistent quality and repeatability of operation to deliver a flawless end product. Vigorous enforcement of "CONTROL PLAN" together with patrol inspection, bar charts and other statistical techniques employed" further ensure compliance to specifications, standards and tolerances.

Sophisticated CNC Machines For High Quality Precision

INSTRUCTION 

Medium frequency, Induction Hardening machines are used to achieve surface hardness and effective case depth. These are PLC controlled to control the process input parameters viz. frequency, energy, heating time, quench medium flow rate and temperature. 100% magnetic particle analysis is carried out to weed out surface defects followed by tempering to remove stresses.

INSPECTION AND TESTING 

ll the components undergo strict quality regime to produce precise and acceptable product.
3D -CMM, fatigue testing, "Universal testing, "Spectro-meter analysis further strengthen the Company's analysis to bring out zero defect product. Ultrasonic flow detecter, Hicro Hardness Tester, Surface Roughness tester further add to quality the product. 

QUALITY MOTIVES /  TEAM MOTIVATION: 

Regular quality audits are carried out to take stock of procedures adoption to inplant process, up-gradation, rejection analysis.Suggestions from shop supervisors, mangers are invited to improve existing systems. Above steps have further achieved a greater degree of satisfaction and has enhanced work culture
