Procurement & Delivery

Material requirements, sample approval, inspection documents, packaging and receiving checks.

01

Enquiry & supply confirmation

Material & standard
Grade, governing standard and edition; equivalent grades require separate confirmation.
Size & condition
Diameter or section drawing, tolerances, delivery condition and surface requirements.
Application & validation
Part application, critical forming operations, inspection items and acceptance criteria.
Quantity & delivery
Sample or production quantity, requested schedule, destination and packaging requirements.

02

Sample & production approval

Points to agree before starting a project. Sampling and production arrangements are governed by the agreed technical requirements and order.

  1. 01

    Agree technical requirements

    Confirm material, dimensions, condition, tests and acceptance criteria before sampling.

  2. 02

    Agree the sample scope

    Confirm sample quantity, cost, timing, identification and required documents together.

  3. 03

    Review tests and forming trials

    Compare material test records with customer forming results and record deviations requiring review.

  4. 04

    Confirm production and changes

    Use the agreed technical documents and order for production supply. Reconfirm changes to material, process or requirements.

Quality documentation & report samples

Two independent sample sets show the format of inspection and traceability records. Customer details, business identifiers and signatures are redacted. The C10C records and 40Cr metallography report do not form a single batch evidence chain.

C10C / 8.00 mm · PDF · 7 pages · 2.0 MB

Inspection & heat traceability sample

Finished-product inspection, mill certificates, incoming and finished-coil labels, and a delivery record. HEAT-A and ORDER-A are anonymized aliases linking these records.

The finished-product report records spheroidization class and decarburization results, without micrographs.

40Cr / 29.00 mm / 100X · 500X · PDF · 2 pages · 3.5 MB

Professional metallographic report sample

An independent 40Cr sample with 100X and 500X micrographs and the original microstructure and decarburization findings. It is not from the same customer, order or heat as the C10C records.

Professional metallographic reports with micrographs are provided only when specifically requested by the customer.

Results apply only to the specimens in the source reports, not to all grades or orders. Public redacted copies are not valid for acceptance or release and do not replace formal certificates. Testing, acceptance criteria and delivery documents are subject to customer requirements and order agreement.

Packaging & protection

Packaging needs to suit transport, storage and customer handling. These redacted photographs show actual coil packaging. Further formats remain on the packaging page.

  • Confirm coil weight, inner and outer diameter, supports and handling conditions.
  • Confirm pay-off direction, surface protection, packaging materials and labels.
  • Agree protection and restraint methods for the product, transport conditions and order.

Shipping & receiving

Domestic truck loading

Confirm package count and labels, vehicle loading conditions, supports, restraints, handling and rain protection.

Export container loading

Agree the container and loading plan, check container condition, and confirm moisture protection, supports, restraints and shipment records for the transport conditions.

Receiving checks

Check packaging, coil labels and delivery documents. Retain photos and labels for any visible damage or document discrepancy and contact us for review.

DOMESTIC DELIVERY

Domestic dispatch process

From arrival checks, weighing and truck-bed protection to cargo verification and document handover. The photographs and documents illustrate individual stages; they are not a continuous record of a single vehicle or shipment.

  1. Arrival checks & tare weight

    Materials control checks loading instructions with sales and logistics, confirms the vehicle and carrier, and verifies driver and vehicle credentials. The empty vehicle weight is recorded before loading for the later weight reconciliation.

  2. Truck-bed inspection & protection

    Materials control checks truck-bed cleanliness and loading safety. Protective liners separate the packaged material from contact surfaces in the truck bed to reduce abrasion and packaging damage.

  3. Post-loading appearance & count

    After loading, staff and the carrier jointly check the condition of the packaging and the package count. Any discrepancy is reviewed before the handover continues.

  4. Tarpaulin cover & loaded weighing

    Once the cargo checks are complete, the truck is covered with a tarpaulin and moves from the warehouse to the weighbridge. The loaded vehicle weight is recorded.

  5. Load-weight reconciliation

    Use the tare and loaded weighing records to reconcile the cargo weight with the loading records. Investigate discrepancies before confirmation. Packaging and other loading materials are handled according to the agreed weighing basis.

  6. Carrier sign-off & document handover

    After confirmation of cargo condition, count and weight, the driver signs the delivery note. The delivery note, packing list, steel mill material certificate and finished-product inspection report accompany the shipment, completing the factory loading process.
