Route Decision
Heavy-duty projects need material, processing, inspection, and export details aligned
Wind, marine, and heavy machinery enquiries should be reviewed as project routes rather than simple grade requests. The buyer should connect application duty, section size, heat treatment, machining route, inspection timing, documentation, packing, and destination-market requirements.
- Clarify whether the part is a shaft, tie rod, fastener, flange-related blank, or mechanical component
- Review 42CrMo4 / 4140, 34CrNiMo6, 35CrMo, or project-specific grades against load and toughness needs
- State QT, forged-route review, peeling, rough machining, threading, or surface-protection requirements
- Include MTC, traceability, UT or third-party inspection, export packing, and shipment document needs
Part Function
Heavy-duty applications need route review before grade selection
Wind, marine, and heavy machinery parts may include shafts, tie rods, fasteners, flanges, and mechanical components where load, fatigue, toughness, machining route, inspection scope, packing, and destination-market requirements should be reviewed together.
- Wind power shafts
- Marine drive shafts
- Tie rods and fasteners
- Heavy machinery components
Material Choice
Common steel routes for heavy-load industrial parts
42CrMo4 / 4140, 34CrNiMo6, 35CrMo, 40Cr, and project-specific grades can be reviewed according to load, diameter, toughness, heat treatment, machining route, document requirement, and final application.
- 42CrMo4 / 4140 for high-strength routes
- 34CrNiMo6 for heavy-duty toughness review
- 35CrMo for selected fastener and pressure-part routes
- 40Cr for general heavy machinery routes
Processing Route
Heat treatment, machining, surface route, and export preparation
Project RFQs should clarify whether the buyer needs hot rolled bar, forged route review, QT bar, peeled bar, rough-machined blank, threaded preparation, surface protection, export packing, or document coordination before shipment.
- QT or forged-route review
- Rough machining or peeling
- Threaded preparation where needed
- Export packing and document coordination
Inspection RFQ
Inspection, traceability, and shipment documents for heavy-duty use
A focused RFQ should include part type, grade, size, delivery condition, processing route, mechanical or hardness requirement, UT or third-party inspection request if needed, MTC, traceability requirement, packing requirement, destination, and any CBAM or emissions-data request where applicable.
- MTC and heat number
- UT or third-party inspection request
- Packing and shipping documents
- CBAM-related data request where applicable
