What application information is useful?
State the downstream operation—such as cutting, slitting, bending, welding, stamping or fabrication. The suitable grade, surface and supply format are confirmed for the intended use.

Raw material
For fabrication, slitting, cut-to-length and downstream production where grade, thickness, width, surface, edge condition and delivery format need to align with the process.
Technical specification
| Item | Requirement to confirm |
|---|---|
| Grade | 304 or 304L; confirm standard and intended use |
| Thickness and width | State target dimensions and tolerance requirement |
| Surface and edge | State base finish, slit or mill edge, and any burr-control need |
| Supply format | Coil, slit strip or cut-to-length sheet |
| Documentation | Confirm material-document and traceability requirements before ordering |
Processing support
If material will be slit, formed, welded or polished, include the downstream process and critical dimensions in the enquiry. This helps confirm a suitable material and delivery condition.
Provide target quantity, delivery destination, packaging preference and requested delivery timing. Final availability and order terms are confirmed after the specification is reviewed.
Use our material-selection guide to prepare the conditions that should be reviewed before an order.

All values are references for preparing an enquiry and must be confirmed for the specific order.
Enquiry preparation
These points help prepare a technical enquiry. They do not replace confirmation of material and order-specific conditions.
State the downstream operation—such as cutting, slitting, bending, welding, stamping or fabrication. The suitable grade, surface and supply format are confirmed for the intended use.
Include grade, thickness, width or length, edge condition, surface, quantity and any critical requirement from the next process.
Share the product format, surface-protection needs, delivery point and route. The protection and load-securing method are confirmed for the order.
