Notice to AlSiC Products Purchase – How to Save Cost?
AlSiC composite has both metal and ceramic quality. In the view of its usage, AlSiC is like metal. When comes to purchasing, better regard it as engineering ceramic.
It is almost impossible to machine AlSiC composite material. Buying one piece of material back home and machining it into wanted shape is always not recommended. Then what is the best way to have AlSiC products?
Due to the reason that purchasing of a AlSiC product is just like purchasing a engineering ceramic product, we better start from the stage of part designing.
When we purchase ceramic product, we would like to bring part drawing to producer to discuss the function and feasibility of that design, and how to optimize to bring down the cost. AlSiC composite product purchasing is exactly the same.
For example, when we need screw holes on our AlSiC, to drill holes on AlSiC is obviously very costly, Fadi has the plan; when we need to sold together or a sealed cover, base on the poor welding quality of AlSiC material, Fadi also has a series of plans to conquer the difficulties. Your products will receive a designated change to realize a seamless transition on your machine.
For better utilization of the advantage of this unique material and decrease the cost to its uttermost, the character of AlSiC purchasing process is: start from product design phase, interact with Fadi technician.
About the lead time: for every different AlSiC composite product, even the difference is quite small, the moulds and tools need design and test before batch purchase. It is quite a time-consuming process. Basically speaking, even the new product looks same as old one, the mold and tools testing process must go once again to ensure their stable performance. This process mortally lasts two and half months.
To be noted: the total process of AlSiC products needs collaborative works from at least 5 companies. Fadi has always been trying its best to keep this team work up on paces.
New products test is not only time-consuming, it also needs investment. Fadi will charge one time payment for every new product when process test is necessary.
The lead time will be much shorter for an old product. Product with long term annual delivery plan saves cost.
