Metal castings play an important role in many aspects. For example, silver clad strips, electrical contact rivets and silver clad copper strips play an important role in the field of power. Therefore, in the long run, choosing low-cost and unqualified casting suppliers may lead to quality problems, thus wasting time and money. The following contents introduce the problems that should be paid attention to when selecting casting suppliers to avoid selecting the wrong suppliers.
Experience In The Market
When selecting suitable casting suppliers, it is necessary to determine whether they have rich market experience. Suppliers who really know your products can predict some potential problems and market demand for you. This is particularly important in high compliance markets such as nuclear industry, aviation industry and national defense industry. Fortunately, most casting suppliers publish their main markets on their websites, which makes it easier to choose the right supplier.
Process Diversity
Excellent casting suppliers should have a variety of casting processes, such as cold forming process, cold heading process, etc. Some suppliers can only provide one casting process. The parts in your product will play different roles, so the best casting process of each part may be different. If you want to purchase castings from the same supplier, your supplier should have diversified casting processes, which helps to simplify and compress the supply base.
Product Quality, Service, And Price
When selecting suitable suppliers, careful consideration should be given to product quality, service and product price. You need to conduct a detailed investigation of the supplier. Most suppliers cannot meet these three conditions at the same time. For example, if you choose the supplier with the lowest price, its product quality and service may not be so good. Therefore, you need to determine which of the three aspects of product quality, price and service is most important to you, and then select suppliers according to this.
Certifications And Testing
You need to know whether your supplier has appropriate certification, such as ASME, NADCAP or PED. Most suppliers will put their certifications on their websites, which you can find by yourself.
Determine whether the metal casting parts you need require nondestructive, mechanical, or chemical testing. Although these tests can be completed by a third party, if your supplier has these testing capabilities, it will save you time and money.
Machining Capabilities
More and more buyers choose metal casting suppliers with machining capacity. If casting suppliers find problems in the machining process, they can quickly solve these problems, rather than shifting the responsibility to a third party. In addition, if the supplier has machining capacity, it can also simplify the supply chain and reduce the handling time and transportation cost before delivering casting machine parts to customers.
Value Added Services
Do you need suppliers to provide you with some value added services, such as sending industrial casting parts to your factory, or other services. If your company does not have professional metallurgical knowledge of custom metal castings, you can ask your supplier to provide you with some professional guidance.
