How to Source Machined Castings from India
Machined castings require tighter process control than raw castings. Define casting plus machining tolerances, datum schemes, and surface finish requirements in your technical package.
Split responsibility clearly between foundry and machining shop, or select an integrated supplier with end-to-end accountability.
Pilot batches should validate both casting stability and machining repeatability before series release. Track Cpk on critical dimensions.
Export packaging must protect machined surfaces during sea freight. Include rust prevention requirements for ferrous components.
