What a one-stop titanium supplier does that a single mill cannot
| Requirement | Single mill | TONGKE as one-stop supplier |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed product forms on one order | Quotes only the forms it produces; you source the rest elsewhere | One enquiry covers plate, bar, tube, forgings, flanges, fasteners and machined parts |
| Mixed grades on one order | Limited to the grades it runs | Quoted together across the partner network, and can often be consolidated into one shipment where the order allows |
| Small quantity and mixed sizes | Often below the mill's economic minimum | Small batches and mixed size lists are a normal part of what we quote |
| Non-titanium items on the same project | Refer you elsewhere | Multi-material packages coordinated alongside the titanium (for example bronze or polymer items) |
| Documentation and export | Mill documentation only | MTC, packing list, inspection coordination and export documentation handled end to end |
| One point of contact | Sales desk per product line | One English-speaking contact for the whole order |
Custom workflow
- Enquiry with drawingSend DWG, STEP, PDF, or a photograph of a marked part. Tell us the quantity, the grade if you have specified one, and the application.
- Technical review and feasibilityWe check the drawing against what the production partners can hold on tolerance and finish, and come back with any point that needs to change before quoting.
- QuotationPrice, lead time, Incoterm, inspection scope and documentation, all in one offer. Tolerance and surface finish are stated explicitly rather than implied.
- Sample or first articleWhere the part is new, a first article is usually the sensible next step before a batch order. Sampling is quoted per project.
- Production and in-process inspectionProduced at the partner works with dimensional checks at the agreed stages.
- Final inspection, packing and shipmentFinal dimensional record, marking, packing for the agreed transport mode, and the shipment documents.
Multi-material consolidation
Titanium is often only part of the purchase. Where a project also needs other materials — bronze bushings, polymer components, fasteners in a different alloy — those can be coordinated on the same enquiry, so that where the goods can be consolidated the buyer deals with one supplier, one document set and one shipment instead of several.
Mixed grades and small batches
The orders that are hardest to place are often the smallest and most mixed: ten kilos of one size, twenty of another, two grades on one requisition. Those are exactly the enquiries we are set up to handle, because our supply network can absorb small quantities across the range instead of forcing them into a single mill's schedule.
Prototyping and sampling
For a new part, a first article lets you verify dimension, finish and material before committing to a batch. Sampling cost and lead time depend on the geometry and the material, so they are quoted per project rather than published as a standard fee. Please contact us for confirmation.
How your drawings are handled
Drawings are used only to quote and produce your order. They are not published, not shown to other customers and not used as samples without written permission. A formal non-disclosure agreement is available for projects that require one — the policy is being finalised, so tell us at enquiry stage if an NDA must be signed before you can release drawings, and we will confirm the current arrangement.
Timeline from RFQ to shipment
The realistic sequence for a custom part is: technical review, quotation, sample or first article, batch production, final inspection, packing, shipment. How long each stage takes depends on the geometry, the material and the quantity, and is stated in the quotation. If you are working to a fixed installation date, tell us at enquiry stage — it is far easier to plan the route around a deadline than to recover one later.
Upload your drawing and we will come back with a feasibility note and a price. Drawings are treated as confidential.
WhatsAppSend your specificationSend your drawing
Send a DWG, STEP or PDF drawing with the quantity and any specified grade. If the part is still being designed, send the application and the load case instead and we will discuss which grades are normally specified for it.
