11 MATERIAL SELECTION AND PROCESS TESTING PRODUCING AN EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT REQUIRES EXCEPTIONAL MATERIALS We ve built an excellent reputation for our global steel sourcing expertise and for having one of the most comprehensive material testing and evaluation programs in the industry. Global Steel Sourcing As one of the largest independent purchasers of electrical steel in the world, our procurement strategy aims to: Identify preferred steel suppliers who can deliver coils that meet our customer quality requirements. Develop a sustainable sourcing portfolio that ensures access to uniform, high-quality steel with equivalent performance in all global regions. Provide the greatest value proposition to our customers by leveraging Tempel s buying power advantage. Electrical Steel Sourcing Quality Assurance Before steel is accepted at our facilities we use a custom-designed Gamma Tester to examine samples of each master coil to ensure that it meets our stringent shape profile standards. But, our comprehensive testing doesn t end there. To ensure that your product is produced using superior quality materials: Every wide coil of steel that enters our facilities undergoes Epstein Testing to measure its magnetic performance. Incoming raw material is also evaluated for electrical insulation, adhesion, hardness and surface roughness. An active product development and qualification program is observed to evaluate new steels and suppliers. This program relies on an extensive database of new material appraisals, which include steel grades from just about every electrical steel supplier in the world. Just as critical to the performance of our finished product is our stringent process testing. Each of our facilities meets Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) production part approval process (PPAP) submission requirements thanks to our robust process monitoring, which includes dynamic process key performance indicator (KPI) control and product audits at each process step. Through these protocols Tempel ensures that our processes are optimized and that the final product characteristics are within the customer specifications. 10
