Process reference for 42CrMo4; the qualified heat-treatment procedure depends on section size and required properties.

Surface & processing requirements

Include the downstream process in your enquiry so that the material, dimensions and surface can be reviewed together.

Cut-to-size requirementsFinal length and width, cutting method and edge condition.
Forming / fabricationDescribe the downstream forming, pressing, profiling or fabrication operation.
Finishing requirementsState whether material will be painted, coated or otherwise finished after delivery.
Plate / sheet handlingConfirm lifting method, stack height and protection of edges and surfaces.

Production & processing

Define the material and the downstream process together. Cutting, slitting or finishing requirements should form part of the order specification.

Material review

Grade, dimensions and surface requirements are checked against the enquiry.

Processing scope

Agree cutting, slitting or forming requirements and the finished product tolerances.

Order inspection

Define acceptance criteria, identification and the requested documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What should I include in my enquiry?

Send the product, grade or standard, dimensions, quantity, required finish and destination. Describe the end use if the specification is still being developed.

Can I request a particular size or finish?

Yes, include your required size and finish in the enquiry. Availability and any processing requirements must be confirmed in the quotation.

How are minimum order and lead time confirmed?

They depend on grade, dimensions, processing and quantity. We confirm them for the particular order rather than publish one figure for every product.

What documents should I request?

State the material test document, inspection scope and other purchasing documents required for your project. Agree these with the order.
