Re: Ford's W-HTX and CQI-9
It appears that your registrar is not up to date with the Ford CSR. Ford has obsoleted W-HTSS, but not W-HTX. You are required by Ford to do CQI-9 and use W-HTX when its requirements are more stringent that CQI-9. For Ford you have to comply with both documents (W-HTX and CQI-9)
About HIP:
HIP applies heat and pressure to change the microstructure of alloys.
By using this definition, it falls under CQI-9, in my opinion.
Any arguments to the contrary are welcome.
(You can contact the Ford STA that handles your Tier 1. Also what does your Tier 1 say?)
If it is, you will have to develop your own "process table", because it is not covered in current CQI-9 2nd edition release.
