As-cast components
The supply scope focuses on the casting and agreed post-processing. Do not assume that mating surfaces, bores or threads are finished.
ENGINEERING GUIDE
As-cast or machined: define your supply scope
The required delivery condition changes the work included in a quotation. Define which surfaces, dimensions and inspection tasks belong to the supplier.

Rough-machined components
Rough machining removes material on specified features while leaving allowance for later operations. Define the remaining allowance and reference datums.
Finish-machined components
The quotation should identify the final features, tolerances, surface finish and inspection scope. Not every casting in a product portfolio automatically has the same machining capability.
Agree a measurable handover
Clarify responsibility for each operation and acceptance check. Include marking, protection and packaging requirements in the purchase specification.
