The QX casting sourcing system. Six stages, one controlled flow.

A clear path from the first drawing to shipment release. We connect the buyer’s technical requirements with verified Indian foundry capability, then keep the agreed controls in view through production.

Technical requirement review

We begin with the product, not the supplier.

  • Drawing, dimensions, tolerances
  • Material grade
  • Applicable standard, load classification
  • Testing, surface, machining requirements
  • Annual or batch volume
  • Destination market
  • Customer-specific specifications

02

Foundry mapping and qualification

The requirement is converted into a supplier capability profile, and potential foundries move through a documented review sequence.

  • Casting process, moulding technology, flask size
  • Furnace capacity, casting weight range, component dimensions
  • Core capability, pattern capability, sand plant
  • Heat treatment, machining, testing, quality system
  • Production capacity, export experience

Casting development

For new products, from drawing to production release.

  • Drawing review, manufacturability
  • Pattern and core development
  • Gating and risering
  • Trial casting
  • Dimensional and metallurgical validation
  • Production release

Production governance

QX can monitor the manufacturing stages defined for the project.

  • Production planning, melt records, chemistry
  • Sand parameters, moulding, core production
  • Casting progress, fettling, machining
  • Dimensional verification, testing
  • Non-conformity, corrective action, production delays

Final verification

The finished product is verified against the agreed scope before dispatch.

  • Quantity, identification, dimensions, visual condition
  • Material documentation, test reports, marking
  • Load and functional testing where specified
  • Photographic evidence, documentation

Shipment

Nothing leaves without a release record.

  • Packing, pallet condition, protection
  • Container condition, loading sequence
  • Traceability, seal recording
  • Shipment readiness report
Supplier qualification

Every foundry ends in one of three outcomes.

Potential foundries move through a documented review sequence. Supplier status may be classified as:

QualifiedCapability and evidence meet the agreed criteria.
ConditionalOpen conditions are recorded for follow-up.
Not qualifiedCurrent capability does not meet the requirement.
Design for manufacturability feedback loop

Start with the requirement. QX will map the path.

Send the drawing and the target market, or simply describe the problem. QX will determine what technical information is required to begin supplier evaluation.
