Aluminum Casting RFQ Checklist
Ready to send drawings? Open the formal RFQ form. This page is a buyer checklist, not the submission form. Ningbo Bohua Mechanical Parts Co., Ltd. supports OEM buyers who need a serious aluminum casting quote, not a generic message page. We quote gravity casting, die casting, low-pressure casting, and selected sand casting programs with machining and surface treatment support. Prepare drawings, alloy, volume, tolerance, surface treatment and inspection requirements and our team can move quickly from review to a usable manufacturing quote.
Focused quote path
Standard RFQ review after drawing check
Best first message: drawing + alloy + annual volume + machining scope.
Preferred files: PDF plus STEP.
Direct RFQ inbox: [email protected]
Processes we can quote
Choose the casting route that matches the part, volume, and quality target
Gravity casting
Best fit for A356 / ZL114 parts that need stronger mechanical performance, stable wall sections, and machining-friendly quality.
Die casting
A strong route for ADC12 programs that need efficient production, good surface finish, and repeatable volume output.
Low-pressure casting
Useful when buyers need better fill control, stable structure, and a cleaner route for selected housing and automotive parts.
Sand casting
A flexible option for selected lower-volume or more complex geometries before moving into a higher-volume production route.
What to send for quotation
RFQ inputs that help us quote faster and more accurately
→Specify inspection scope early: state PPAP level, X-ray zones, CMM datum scheme, and leak-test method in the first message so inspection cost is visible from the start.
→Include pressure or sealing requirements with the drawing — not after samples — to allow process route and machining datum review before tooling is released.
→Export note: confirm Incoterm preference (FOB Ningbo or CIF destination) so packaging, freight, and documentation assumptions are part of the initial quote.
Why buyers use this page
A direct RFQ page for commercial-intent search traffic
This page is built for searches like aluminum casting RFQ, aluminum casting quote China, and request quote aluminum parts China.
Instead of pushing buyers into a generic message path, it frames the quote path around process, drawing quality, and purchasing inputs.
If your team already has drawings ready, go straight to the formal RFQ page or email and skip the research loop.

Buyer facts
| Files to send | 2D drawing (PDF) + 3D model (STEP) |
|---|---|
| Material info | Alloy target or mechanical requirement (A356, ZL114, ADC12, or buyer spec) |
| Volume | Prototype, annual volume, or blanket order quantity |
| Machining | Datums, sealing surfaces, ports, threads, dimensional-critical features |
| Inspection | PPAP level, X-ray scope, leak-test method, traceability requirements |
| Response | Review timing depends on drawing completeness and inspection scope |
FAQ
Buyer questions before sending an aluminum casting RFQ
What information should I send for an aluminum casting RFQ?
Send 2D drawings, 3D models (STEP preferred), alloy or mechanical requirements, annual volume, secondary operations scope, surface finish, and quality review requirements. The more buyer-side decisions are visible up front, the faster we can quote process route, tooling, and lead time without back-and-forth.
What affects aluminum casting cost?
Part weight and alloy, casting process selection (gravity vs low-pressure vs HPDC vs sand), secondary operations scope, tooling complexity, annual volume, quality review package (internal-soundness verification, dimensional verification, casting integrity review), heat treatment, surface treatment, and packaging/export terms. RFQs that fix the casting process and secondary operations scope upfront converge to a real quote faster.
How long does an aluminum casting project take?
Tooling design and build typically run 4–8 weeks. T1 samples through approved supplier qualification add another 2–4 weeks. End-to-end from PO to approved parts is commonly 8–14 weeks for new programs. Tool transfers from an existing supplier can be faster when full drawing and tooling history are available.
How should buyers evaluate an aluminum casting supplier in China?
Verify automotive-grade quality system or ISO 9001 certification is current and issued by a recognized body. Confirm the certified scope covers the specific casting process. Check in-house secondary operations and quality review capabilities, supplier qualification documentation support, and traceability. Ask which buyer-side assumptions still need to be confirmed before tooling.
How does Bohua approach part qualification and documentation?
Bohua supports automotive-style part qualification documentation, including dimensional reports, material certifications, process flow, control plans, PFMEA, MSA, and first-article qualification packages, aligned to typical OEM requirements for new program launches. Submit your qualification scope upfront with the RFQ so documentation requirements can be confirmed before tooling release.
