Following a 12-month period of investment in new technology, processes and training, spring, bent wire form and assembly manufacturer William Hughes has gained Nadcap accreditation for its heat treatement facility, one of just a handful of companies in the UK to achieve this.

The company procured a new industrial oven. As part of gaining Nadcap accreditation, the oven is subject to rigorous temperature uniformity surveys to ensure a tolerance of ±5°C can be maintained over a range from 300-750°C.

William Hughes has also invested in a Zwick tensile testing machine and software. This has been audited for room temperature tensile testing and accreditation achieved.
