# How to Write an Aluminum Casting RFQ

A good aluminum casting RFQ helps suppliers quote the same scope. It should include the part drawing, function, material expectation, annual volume, machining, inspection, finishing, packaging, and commercial assumptions.

Include these items

  • 2D drawing and STEP file
  • revision status and part function
  • alloy, temper, or accepted equivalent
  • annual volume and first order quantity
  • machining datums and critical features
  • surface finish and coating needs
  • CMM, material certificate, leak-test, NDT, PPAP, or FAI records
  • packaging, destination, Incoterm, and launch timing
