RFQ data needed
RFQ data should state grade, equivalent standard, shape, size, tolerance, quantity, heat treatment or surface condition, and destination.

Applications

  • Mold & Tooling: Tool steel, maraging steel, and high-strength special steels for molds, dies, and precision tooling.
  • Precision Machinery: Special alloy bars, plates, pipes, and strips for precision machinery, machined parts, and industrial equipment.
  • Aerospace & Defense: High-strength steel, maraging steel, nickel alloys, and precision alloys for demanding structural and precision parts.
  • Automotive & Gear Manufacturing: Carburizing steel, gear steel, and alloy structural steel for shafts, gears, and powertrain components.

Packaging & Delivery

Plate and sheet orders can use pallet packing, surface protection, edge guards, heat-number marking, and export labels. Lead time: Processing plan is driven by Heat Treatment, Cutting & Welding, Surface Treatment, heat treatment scope, certificate level, and export routing. Procurement focus: P20 plate, sheet, or strip supply for cut blanks, forming, machining, and surface-finish requirements; suitable for plastic mold steel plate orders where prehard condition, polishing, and machining stability matter
