Practical answers about custom metal parts, manufacturing processes, materials, quality control, quotation, production and OEM cooperation.
Typical gray iron grades include:
HT150, HT200, HT250, HT300 and HT350.
Typical ductile iron grades include:
QT400, QT450, QT500 and QT600.
Material grades should be confirmed according to the customer's drawing, specification and application requirements.
Material / Process Maximum Size Maximum Weight
Stainless Steel Parts 700 × 700 × 700 mm 200 kg
Carbon Steel Parts 1000 × 1000 × 1000 mm 350 kg
Sand Castings Ø1500 × 2000 mm 4,000 kg
These represent maximum stated capabilities. Smaller and lighter components can also be manufactured.
For a specific part, we recommend sending the drawing or 3D model so our engineers can confirm manufacturability.
We normally recommend providing:
Part drawings or 3D models
Material and material grade
Required quantity
Annual or forecast volume, if available
Dimensional tolerances
Surface finish requirements
Inspection requirements
Applicable standards or specifications
Packaging requirements
Required delivery date
If you have a drawing and are unsure which manufacturing process is appropriate, you can send the part to us for evaluation.
For RFQs involving more than ten different part types or complex technical requirements, additional time may be required for engineering review and costing.
For smaller quantities, the appropriate manufacturing process will be evaluated based on tooling, setup and production economics.
For sample orders or projects requiring tooling, an agreed tooling or sample payment may be required before production begins.
For mass production orders, a typical arrangement may be 30% T/T before production and 70% balance against a copy of the B/L, subject to the final commercial agreement.
Inspection requirements can be established according to customer drawings, specifications and project requirements.
For critical dimensions, inspection requirements can be defined according to customer drawings and specifications.
We may use photographs of manufactured components for website or marketing purposes only where appropriate. If a customer requires that its products, parts or project information not be publicly displayed, this requirement can be respected.
For projects requiring formal confidentiality arrangements, specific confidentiality requirements can be discussed before production.
DHL, FedEx, TNT and UPS.
We select an appropriate shipping method based on delivery requirements and overall transportation cost.
For disputed quality issues, independent third-party inspection can also be considered where mutually agreed.
For OEM projects, customized packaging can also be considered where required.
Specific requirements should be confirmed during the quotation stage.
