FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ordering custom washers and stamping parts from Changbiao.

Answers to the questions buyers ask us most often — about products and customization, samples and lead times, quality documents, packaging, shipping and payment. Can’t find your answer? Send us a message and an engineer will reply within 24 hours.

Products & Customization

What products does Changbiao manufacture?

We specialize in automotive washers and precision stamping parts. Our range includes flat, spring, serrated lock, knurled Belleville, wave, conical and eccentric washers; standard washers to GB, DIN, ANSI (IFI), BS and AS; custom stamped, deep-drawn and bent components; disc springs, shims, spacers and retaining rings.

Can you make parts according to my drawing or sample?

Yes — custom parts are our core business. Send us a 2D drawing (PDF, DWG, DXF) or 3D model (STEP, IGS), or mail us a physical sample. Our engineers review manufacturability, tolerances, material and finish, then propose the most economical tooling solution. We are happy to sign an NDA before you share drawings.

Which standards can you produce to?

We produce to GB, DIN, ISO, ANSI / IFI, BS, AS and JIS standards as well as to customer-specific drawings and automotive OEM specifications.

What materials and surface finishes are available?

Materials: carbon steel, spring steel (e.g. 65Mn), alloy steel, stainless steel (304, 316, 420), copper, brass and aluminium.

Finishes: zinc plating (blue, white, yellow, black — RoHS-compliant trivalent), zinc-flake coatings (Dacromet / Geomet), phosphating, black oxide, nickel plating and oiling. Heat treatment is done on our own line for stable hardness.

What thickness and size range can you stamp?

With 100+ machines including presses from 16 t to 400 t, we stamp materials from 0.1 mm to 10 mm thick — from tiny electronic terminals to heavy washers and brackets. Tight tolerances are held with progressive dies, optical sorting and CMM / 2D vision inspection.

Do you offer OEM and private-label packaging?

Yes. We supply many fastener brands and distributors as an OEM manufacturer. Customer part numbers, labels, barcodes and branded cartons can be provided.

Samples, MOQ & Lead Time

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ depends on the part and whether tooling already exists. For standard washers we can accept small trial orders; for custom stampings the MOQ is set by tooling and set-up economics. Tell us your annual volume and we will recommend the most cost-effective batch size.

Can I get samples before placing an order?

Yes. Samples of existing standard parts are usually free — you only cover the courier cost. For custom parts, samples are produced after tooling is made and submitted with an inspection report for your approval.

What is your typical lead time?

Tooling and samples for new custom parts typically take 2–4 weeks depending on complexity. Mass production usually ships within 15–30 days after sample approval. With a daily output of 30+ tons and an automated warehouse, repeat orders and stocked items can ship faster.

How do I get a quotation?

Use the inquiry form on this website, email us or contact us on WhatsApp with your drawing or sample photos, material, finish, quantity and destination. Our sales engineers normally reply within 24 hours on business days.

Quality & Certification

Which certifications do you hold?

Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949:2016 (since July 2024). See our Certificates page.

How do you control quality?

Steel coils come from major mills with certificates and are checked on arrival. Production is monitored with first-article and in-process inspection; finished parts are checked in our laboratory (spectrometer, CMM, hardness, tensile and salt-spray testing) and can be 100% optical- or roll-sorted. ERP + MES gives full batch traceability.

Can you provide PPAP and inspection reports?

Yes. We can supply material certificates, dimensional and hardness inspection reports, salt-spray test reports and PPAP documentation for automotive projects.

Can we visit or audit your factory?

You are welcome to visit our production base in Hai’an, Nantong (Jiangsu, China) for a factory tour or supplier audit. Video audits can also be arranged.

Packaging, Shipping & Payment

How are the parts packed?

Parts are anti-rust oiled or packed in VCI bags, then packed in strong export cartons on pallets. Labels show part number, quantity and batch number for traceability. Custom packaging and labeling are available.

Which shipping methods and trade terms do you offer?

We ship worldwide by sea, air, rail or express (DHL, FedEx, UPS). Common terms are EXW, FOB Shanghai and CIF; other terms can be discussed.

What payment terms do you accept?

We usually work with T/T (bank transfer). For new customers a deposit with the balance before shipment is common; terms for long-term partners can be negotiated.
