RFQ Checklist for Titanium Parts
Neutral buyer checklist for structuring a titanium parts RFQ — what to gather before requesting a quote.
Quick Answer
Before submitting an RFQ for titanium parts, gather a dimensioned drawing or 3D model, material grade and condition, tolerance and surface-finish callouts, quantity, target delivery, and the certification documents you need.
Checklist
- Dimensioned engineering drawing (PDF or equivalent)
- 3D model (STEP is a common interoperable format)
- Titanium grade and material condition (e.g. annealed)
- Tolerance callouts on critical features
- Surface finish requirements
- Required quantity and target delivery date
- Certification requirements (MTR, COA, COC, FAI)
- Applicable standards or internal specs the part must meet
Why a checklist matters
An RFQ is a contract boundary for a quote. Omitted details such as material condition, tolerance, and certification are a common source of scope drift and later claims.
What to confirm with the supplier
Ask which file formats are accepted, whether a formal drawing is required versus a 3D model alone, and which documents the supplier will ship with the parts.
