What are the responsibilities regarding “first piece” samples of die castings when received by the purchaser?
A. After the first die cast samples are received from a die casting die, the die caster or purchaser will usually be required to measure the samples and verify that they meet specifications. Modifications from the original print which have no effect on part function or appearance can be discussed at this time to ensure that high production rates can be maintained and premature die maintenance avoided. Procedures for handling changes in the print specifications for the die casting should be agreed upon. Any costs and delivery delay incurred by such changes should be quoted by the die caster immediately after they are received. Authorization for the changes should be given by the purchaser in writing on each change order.
