Frequently Asked Questions

How Do These Guides Help My RFQ?

They help you compare die casting, forging, sand casting and investment casting before sending drawings, quantity and finish requirements.

Do I Need to Choose the Process Before I Ask for a Quote?

No. You can send the drawing first. Gaton Brass can review the part and recommend a suitable process based on geometry, quantity, strength and finish.
