Good Morning,
I am wondering if someone can help me. We are a manufacturing facility that produces fasteners for Aerospace and Automotive. We currently out source our heat treating but do our own passivation in house. For some fasteners we are required to bake after passivation for 4 hours at 400°F. Our customer has just stated that we are required to do a CQI-9 for this process. My question is when does a bake oven become a furnace? Is it common practice for a bake oven to require a CQI-9? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for everyone's time.
