Forging manufacturing is a customized process, so it is somewhat difficult to develop new products. We all know that different products have different requirements, some only need forging, some need machining to achieve tighter tolerances, and some need heat treatment... So it is really unknown whether the potential supplier we choose is suitable. If buyers want to customize low-priced and high-quality forgings from China, it is very necessary to arrange a visit before ordering.

So what should buyers pay attention to when visiting?

1. What is the size of the company?

The size of a forging company determines its capabilities. A sizable forging company should have more than 80 employees. Like Kingrail Parts, with about 250 employees, it is the largest forging company in Maanshan. This does not mean that a small-scale forging company cannot provide high-quality products, at least its production capacity is limited, and we cannot say that the delivery time is guaranteed.

2. Is the forging plant ISO certified?

ISO certification is the basic qualification for buyers to cooperate with forging companies. Without ISO certification, buyers will not consider it at all because they have no ability to ensure good quality and delivery time. For automotive forgings, suppliers should also have TS16949 certification.

3. What types of forgings does the factory supply?

In terms of materials, common forgings are steel forgings, copper forgings, and aluminum forgings. Generally speaking, each factory only specializes in one of them. For example, if you need custom steel forgings, but the forging plant you visit is only an aluminum forging plant, so they can't produce it for you and can only outsource it, otherwise you can't place an order with them. And Kingrail Parts is the right steel forging forging company you choose.

4. Does the forging company also provide machining?

Although there will be good surface finish and strict tolerances after the forging process, it does not mean that machining is not required. For tighter tolerances, we have to meet them through roughing or finishing. In most cases, forging suppliers need to outsource processing factories to do this work, but our company has its own processing shop, so forging and processing can be completed in the factory, which is good for quality control and pricing.

5. What is the quality control process of this factory?

The quality control process is also very important and worthy of visitors' attention. It will directly affect the quality of your products. Without a complete quality control process, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no defects after production. Kingrail Parts has a strict and comprehensive quality control process, and each step will be checked by our professional quality control personnel, so you don't need to worry about quality problems when buying forgings from our company.

The above are just some points for buyers' reference. Kingrail Parts warmly welcomes you to visit, if you have a steel forging purchase plan, please contact us, we will try our best to provide you with the best price for your reference.
