The product form matters
Distinguish sheet from plate, bar, tube, profile and finished part. For a blank, say whether dimensions are before or after cutting; for a component, include a drawing and revision number.

PRODUCT SOURCING / UBP
Metal materials and components to specification
We can help structure a request for standard metal stock or a component and identify the information needed for a quotation.
Discuss your requestGrade, condition and size
Specify exact grade and standard, condition or temper, thickness or section, width and length, tolerances, surface requirements and quantity. Intended processing—such as welding, forming or machining—or the service environment helps a supplier assess the request.
Request and follow-up
With these details, standard stock availability, cut-length options and supplier terms can be assessed. Special processing, material certificates and traceability must be agreed with the specific producer or service center.

What to check
“Steel” or “aluminium” alone is not a specification: grade, condition and form affect processing and properties. Nominal size does not always mean exact size; confirm tolerances, substitutions, cutting and records before ordering.
