MTR/heat # questions
MTR/heat # questions
(OP)
New to this site. In my particular state & industry MTRs are not typically a big concern or requirement. However, recently I have had a customer ask for one. I have a couple of specific questions about navigating this new-to-me territory.
I buy ferrules, clamps, etc. from companies overseas and resell in the states - I want to know if there is anyway to change the name of the company on the MTR or transfer the heat # to my company name? Or can I provide the quality control information but not the contact information for the company I buy from? Basically I just don't want my customers going straight to the source.
Any guidance here is much appreciated. Thanks!

No, this is not permitted by any reputable Standard. Give the customer the original MTR, period.

When you do that you are taking responsibility for the accuracy and truth of the information, and liability.
You might want to think twice about this.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

We don't do a new chem, we just use the one supplied to us, and then we generate a CMTR. We add the testing that we did and the necessary data.
It is the same for fastener work, they test strength, but the chem just comes straight off of the original mill cert.
If you are not changing the product form, doing any cold work or heat treating, or anything else to change properties them a CofC is what is traditionally used.
