Two spiral bevel gears can look almost identical while using different material routes because the load spectrum, wear requirement, shock, tooth finish or secondary machining is different. The RFQ should state what is controlled and leave open items clearly marked for review.<\/p>\n<section class=\"ep-section\">\n<div class=\"ep-container ep-split\">\n<div>\n<h2>Think of material, heat treatment and finishing as one route<\/h2>\n<p>The selected material has to support the heat-treatment plan and the final machining sequence. Bores, splines, keyways, threads and datum faces may be finished before or after treatment depending on the design. Tooth grinding, when required, also changes how allowances and datums are protected.<\/p>\n<p>That is why an alloy name by itself is not enough to describe the manufacturing requirement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spiralgears.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/inspection-flow.webp\" alt=\"Manufacturing route from machining through heat treatment and inspection\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ep-section\">\n<div class=\"ep-container\">\n<h2>Questions to answer in the RFQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ep-table-wrap table-scroll\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Kayd\u0131r\u0131labilir teknik tablo\">\n<table class=\"ep-spec-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Question<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What to state<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Is the material fixed?<\/td>\n<td>Exact grade\/specification if controlled; otherwise mark for project review.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Is heat treatment controlled?<\/td>\n<td>Method and any hardness\/case requirements exactly as the drawing specifies.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Which features are acceptance-critical?<\/td>\n<td>Tooth finish, bore\/spline, journals, mounting faces and any controlled runout or dimensions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Will secondary machining follow heat treatment?<\/td>\n<td>Identify features that must remain machinable or be finish-machined later.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>What is the duty?<\/td>\n<td>Load spectrum, speed, reversals, shock, environment and lubrication context.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ep-section\">\n<div class=\"ep-container ep-split ep-split-reverse\">\n<div>\n<h2>Heavy-duty does not mean \u201cpick the hardest material\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Higher hardness is not a universal answer.
