| Use-case fit | Custom susceptors, heaters, crucible sets, and hot-zone parts; Semiconductor equipment replacement graphite components; Confidential OEM graphite programs requiring drawing control | Application, furnace duty, and buyer-side validation goal are confirmed before material or process route selection. |
| Parameter baseline | Machining Scope: Crucibles, rings, heaters, carriers, shields, supports, and fixtures; Inspection Evidence: Dimensional report by drawing and program requirement | Target ranges, report needs, and pass/fail criteria are written into the RFQ or sample approval plan. |
| Risk closure | IP Leakage: Use NDA, revision-controlled drawing exchange, and clear document ownership before RFQ details are circulated.; Machining scrap on fragile geometry: Review wall thickness, corner radius, thread depth, support method, and handling plan before cutting graphite. | Drawing notes, inspection scope, cleaning, coating, packaging, and traceability controls are agreed before repeat supply. |
| RFQ completeness | CAD files and 2D drawings with revision, tolerance, and inspection callouts; Material grade, density, grain size, ash, and impurity expectations; Operating temperature, atmosphere, coating, cleaning, and packaging needs; Prototype quantity, annual forecast, approval process, and delivery destination | Engineering can return a quote direction without avoidable loops for drawing, purity, coating, quantity, or delivery gaps. |
