What should I include in a ceramic part enquiry?

Start with a drawing reference, material preference, quantity, working conditions and critical dimensions. If the grade is open, describe the function and constraints first.

Can I start without a complete drawing?

Yes, the enquiry can start from a functional brief. Final feasibility, dimensions and acceptance criteria still need to be agreed before an order.

What to agree before a first ceramic sample.

A sample is most useful when its purpose and acceptance criteria are clear at the outset.

Illustrative preview content. Product availability, grades, dimensions and performance must be confirmed for the actual project.

State what the sample should prove

Record temperature exposure, contact conditions, electrical requirements and the consequences of a part failing. Distinguish essential limits from preferences.

Write down acceptance criteria

Use the actual material designation and test conditions in the supplier documentation. A material family is not a substitute for an approved grade or a finished-part inspection plan.

Record what happens next

Agree the drawing revision, critical dimensions, inspection records and what will be reviewed before progressing. Confirm commercial terms in the quotation.
