Questions from Overseas OEM Buyers

This FAQ answers what overseas buyers usually ask before sending drawings, 3D files, samples, or worn-part evidence: product scope, quotation inputs, materials, casting, machining, surface treatment, quality control, trial orders, and export support.

Engineering drawing review for custom metal parts RFQ questions
Need a direct answer?Email kai@jkcasting.com with your drawings and project requirements.
Can you quote power line hardware from drawings?

Yes. Buyers can send drawings, samples, material requirements, quantities, and technical specifications for power line hardware such as clevises, shackles, yoke plates, clamp bodies, brackets, supports, and related custom metal components.

Can you quote oilfield ESP cable protectors?

Yes. For oilfield ESP cable protectors and cross-coupling clamp bodies, send the drawing or sample, tubing and coupling dimensions, cable envelope, material, quantity, finish, and inspection requirements.

Can you manufacture parts according to drawings?

Yes. The casting factory has been operating since 2002. JK Casting supplies sand casting and lost-wax investment casting, plus CNC machining of those castings. Welded fabrications and stamped parts are quoted with castings or as separate orders. Regular materials are carbon steel, grey iron and ductile iron. Castings are made to drawing in a wide range of weights and sizes and are quoted per part.

What information is needed for quotation?

Please send 2D drawings or 3D files, samples if available, material grade, quantity and annual usage, tolerance requirements, surface treatment, application environment, and delivery requirements.

Do you support samples?

Yes. After tooling is agreed, samples can be made first, and the sample lead time is confirmed in the quotation. Samples help when a drawing is incomplete or a replacement part needs review. Small trial batches are accepted.

Can you provide casting and machining together?

Yes. One order can cover sand casting and lost-wax investment casting, CNC machining, finishing, inspection and export packing. Welded fabrications and stamped parts are quoted with castings or as separate orders. The quotation names the route for your part.

Do you support surface treatment?

Yes. Surface treatment requirements can be reviewed according to corrosion resistance, appearance, protection, packing, and application needs.

Do you support overseas OEM buyers?

Yes. We support overseas OEM and industrial buyers. We export to the USA, Australia, the UAE, Russia, South Korea, Japan and other countries.

What product categories can you quote?

We can quote power line hardware, cable protectors, custom castings, machined castings, railway parts, oilfield equipment parts, agricultural and construction equipment castings, bucket teeth, welded fabrications, stamped parts and other drawing-based products.

How should buyers send drawings?

Buyers can email drawings, samples, material, quantity, tolerance, surface treatment, and application requirements to kai@jkcasting.com.

Can you support small trial orders before bulk production?

Yes. The minimum order is flexible and small trial batches are accepted. A trial confirms fit, the process route and inspection before a repeat order.

Which casting processes do you run?

We run sand casting and lost-wax investment casting. The route is chosen from the drawing, material and quantity.

What tolerances are typical?

Sand casting is typically held to ISO 8062 CT8-CT10, depending on part geometry. Investment casting (lost wax) is typically held to ISO 8062 CT5-CT7, depending on part geometry. Machined features are finished to the drawing, commonly within ±0.02-0.05 mm, depending on the feature.

What is a typical lead time, and is there a minimum order?

Lead time is confirmed in each quotation because it depends on quantity, part complexity and whether new tooling is needed. Small trial batches are accepted.

Which grades do you commonly cast?

Common grades cover three families:

  • Grey iron: GG20, GG25 and GG30 (HT200, HT250, HT300); ASTM A48 Class 30, 35 and 40; EN-GJL-200, EN-GJL-250 and EN-GJL-300.
  • Ductile iron: GGG40, GGG50 and GGG60 (QT400-15, QT450-10, QT500-7 and QT600-3, within the QT400-QT600 range); ASTM A536 60-40-18, 65-45-12 and 80-55-06; EN-GJS-400-15, EN-GJS-450-10, EN-GJS-500-7 and EN-GJS-600-3.
  • Carbon steel: ASTM A216 WCB, with WCC when the drawing calls for it; ZG230-450 and ZG270-500. ASTM A27 is a common reference and is confirmed per drawing.

1020 and 1045 are wrought designations and need a cast-versus-wrought check. GB 25#, 35# and 45# are inquiry cross-references only, with the same cast-versus-wrought caveat. The full cross-reference table is on the material selection page.

Alloy steel and high-manganese grades are reviewed per drawing for suitable geometry; they are not common stock grades. Other grades on the drawing are reviewed part by part. Listed equivalents are approximate: the drawing's standard and acceptance criteria govern, and substitution needs buyer approval.

How do you handle quality control?

Quality control includes drawing review, material and process confirmation, dimensional checks, surface condition, packing, and shipment checks. Our ISO 9001:2015 certificate covers processing of steel castings and is valid to 2027-04-21. Material report type, specialist tests, traceability, and issuing organizations are agreed before ordering.

What does JK Casting not manufacture?

Die casting is not offered. Aluminium and bronze are not regular materials. Regular materials are carbon steel, ductile iron and grey iron; stainless and alloy steel are reviewed part by part.

Is there a maximum casting weight?

There is no fixed upper part-weight limit. Each casting is reviewed from its drawing, and the process, tooling and price are quoted per part.

Can welded fabrications and stamped parts be ordered on their own?

Welded fabrications and stamped parts are quoted with castings or as separate orders. Standalone machining-only orders are outside the supply scope.

Which countries do you export to?

JK Casting exports to the USA, Australia, the UAE, Russia, South Korea and Japan. Other destinations are reviewed with the order.

Whose name is on the ISO 9001 certificate, and what does it cover?

Our ISO 9001:2015 (GB/T 19001-2016) certificate covers the processing of steel castings and is valid to 2027-04-21. It is issued in the name of Gaomi Changrong Precision Casting Co., Ltd., the same company as Shandong Jiangkai Metal Products Co., Ltd. Inspection equipment is in-house.

Is JK Casting related to other companies with a similar name?

No. JK Casting is the brand name of Shandong Jiangkai Metal Products Co., Ltd., a casting factory in Gaomi, Shandong, China, operating since 2002. www.jkcasting.com is our only official website, and our email addresses end in @jkcasting.com. We are not affiliated with similarly named companies such as JK Casting in the United States (a talent casting agency), J.K. Casting or JK Foundry in India, or jkcastingindustries.com.
