Commercial nuclear machining

You can begin an initial quote request with the drawing or model, anticipated quantity, material, and delivery needs available at that stage. As the project is reviewed, additional information such as the current revision, item classification, procurement route, quality clauses, required processes, inspection and test requirements, hold points, documentation deliverables, and records-retention requirements may be needed to confirm fit and prepare an accurate quote. Total Manufacturing and Trust Manufacturing will help identify what must be established before the work moves forward.

That depends on the item’s classification, procurement route, applicable nuclear quality program, dedication responsibilities, and Trust Manufacturing’s certified scope. These requirements must be reviewed before the work is accepted. General commercial work, safety-related supply, and commercial-grade dedication are separate procurement paths with different qualification and acceptance requirements.

Total Manufacturing and Trust Manufacturing establish the required traceability and documentation from the procurement package before production begins. Depending on the project, records can include material and heat-lot documentation, process certifications, dimensional inspection results, Certificates of Conformance, approved deviations, and final data books. The exact documentation package and retention requirements are determined by the purchase order and applicable quality program.

Total Manufacturing is best suited for complex, low-to-medium-volume components that require tight tolerances, difficult materials, multiple manufacturing processes, detailed inspection, or extensive traceability and documentation. Its capabilities are particularly useful for replacement and legacy components that require close coordination across machining, secondary processes, inspection, and final records. Final qualification depends on the specific procurement package and Trust Manufacturing’s certified scope.

Total Manufacturing supports commercial nuclear machining in coordination with Trust Manufacturing. Trust provides the applicable nuclear quality oversight and certified scope, while Total performs machining and related manufacturing in its Mentor facility. The structure used for each project depends on the procurement route, item classification, purchase-order requirements, and applicable quality program.
