Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this product?
A: Our standard MOQ is 1 ton per size. However, smaller trial quantities (e.g., 200kg) can be arranged for sample orders. Please contact our sales team to discuss your specific needs.
Q2: Can you provide material test certificates or mill test reports?
A: Yes, we provide a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) for each batch, including chemical composition and mechanical properties per ISO and ASTM standards. Third-party inspection is also acceptable at buyer's cost.
Q3: What surface treatments are available? Can you supply black oxide or galvanized?
A: We offer as-drawn bright finish as standard. Additional surface treatments such as black oxide, phosphating, or zinc plating are available as value-added services. Please inquire for details and pricing.
Q4: How do you ensure the straightness of 0.1mm/m is maintained during shipping?
A: Bars are securely bundled and packed with spacers to prevent bending during transit. For lengths over 6 meters, we use steel frames or wooden crates. We also recommend using dedicated flatbed containers for extra-long bars.
Q5: Do you offer cut-to-length services? What is the tolerance on cut length?
A: Yes, we can cut to any length between 1m and 12m with a tolerance of ±2mm. For tighter tolerances, please specify at the time of order.
Q6: Is this product suitable for use in hydraulic cylinders or piston rods?
A: Yes, 1018 cold drawn steel bar is commonly used for non-critical hydraulic components. For applications requiring higher wear resistance, we recommend our 1045 or 4140 grades. Our technical team can help you select the right material.
Q7: What is the standard packaging for export?
A: Standard packaging is in bundles strapped with steel bands, wrapped in waterproof paper, and protected with plastic or woven bag. For container shipment, we also use fumigation-free wooden pallets or crates as required. Custom packaging is available upon request.
Q8: How long does shipping take from Qingdao to North America, for example?
A: Sea freight to US West Coast ports typically takes 18-25 days, and to East Coast ports 25-35 days. We can arrange faster shipping via air or express for small samples. Our logistics team will provide the most cost-effective solution.
