Custom Aluminium Extrusions: A Practical RFQ Checklist for B2B Buyers

A clear request for quotation helps aluminium buyers compare suppliers on the same basis. Before asking for a price, define the profile, material, finish and delivery requirements. Shaanxi Luotu Technology Co., Ltd. supplies aluminium ingots, rods, bars and custom extruded profiles, with surface finishing and precision processing available for review against your specification.

What should an aluminium extrusion RFQ include?

  • Drawing and application: send a dimensioned profile drawing and explain how the part will be used. Identify critical dimensions and mating parts.
  • Alloy and temper: specify the required grade, temper and applicable standard. If these are undecided, describe the operating conditions for technical review.
  • Dimensions and tolerances: include wall thickness, cut length, straightness and any inspection requirements. Feasibility must be confirmed against the drawing.
  • Surface finish: state whether you need mill finish or a treated surface, and specify colour, appearance and coating requirements where applicable.
  • Additional processing: describe cutting, drilling, tapping or machining, with drawings for finished parts.
  • Quantity: provide trial order quantity and estimated repeat demand so tooling and production costs can be evaluated.
  • Delivery: state destination, preferred Incoterm, required date, packing and labelling requirements.

How should buyers compare quotations?

Check whether quotations cover the same alloy, temper, tolerances, finish, machining and packaging. Ask for tooling charges, sample approval steps, inspection documents and shipment terms to be shown separately. Confirm the applicable product standard and required test evidence before ordering; a general supplier description does not replace product-specific verification.

Frequently asked questions

Can I request a custom aluminium profile?

Yes. Send your drawing, intended use and estimated quantity to Shaanxi Luotu Technology Co., Ltd. for a technical and commercial review. Production feasibility, tolerances, tooling, minimum order quantity and lead time are confirmed for each enquiry.

Which industries can enquire?

We welcome enquiries from distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers serving construction, industrial equipment, photovoltaic applications and transport projects. The final alloy and profile specification should suit the intended application.

What if I do not have a complete specification?

Start with a sketch, sample dimensions and a description of the application. Identify which requirements are fixed and which need technical discussion. Do not assume that a profile selected by appearance alone is suitable for the required load or environment.

6063-T5 aluminium profiles: what should a buyer confirm?

For a 6063-T5 aluminium profile quotation, include the dimensioned cross-section, wall thickness, cut lengths, required tolerances and application. Confirm the applicable material and dimensional standards and the inspection documents needed for your market. Alloy and temper alone do not establish the load capacity or performance of a finished window, door or machine frame.

Anodized or powder-coated aluminium profiles?

Specify the intended environment, colour reference, gloss, coating or anodizing requirements, and any surfaces that must remain untreated for assembly. A finish sample and agreed acceptance criteria help buyers compare quotations consistently.

Can industrial profiles be supplied for machine frames?

Explore our JX-8 industrial aluminium profiles and send the section drawing, connector details and assembly requirements. Slot geometry and connection compatibility must be checked before ordering.

What are Fortewin’s payment terms?

Payment is by T/T bank transfer: 60% advance after order confirmation, with the remaining 40% paid before shipment. Tooling costs, minimum order quantity and lead time are confirmed in the quotation for each specification.
