Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is ADC12 alloy and why use it?
A1: ADC12 is a die-cast aluminum alloy with silicon, copper, and iron, offering strong fluidity, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and robustness in complex geometries.
Q2: What minimum order quantity is required?
A2: Prototype runs can start at 100 pcs; total production MOQ flexible, depending on tooling and lead time—often no strict minimum.
Q3: What industries require IATF 16949 certification?
A3: IATF 16949 applies to any automotive supply chain organization involved in manufacturing components, assemblies, or service parts. It emphasizes defect prevention and waste reduction under ISO 9001:2015 system.
Q4: How long does it take from design to finished product?
A4: Die tooling typically requires 4-12 weeks. Samples without finishing available in about one week; full production usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on volume.
Q5: What quality control tests are performed?
A5: We use industry-grade inspection including CMM for dimensional accuracy, X-ray flaw detection, spectrographic material analysis, hardness measurement, and salt-spray corrosion testing.
