One-minute overview
A UK-based Senior Workshop Technician required M24x150mm Inconel 600 studs and nuts for a 600–800°C high-temperature application.
After confirming Inconel 600 as the ideal material, the order was adjusted to 24 studs and 48 nuts.
Despite an internal bank authorization delay on the client's side, we reserved the production slot without cancellation.

Initial Inquiry
This client came from our independent website. He said he wanted to purchase Inconel studs in various lengths and sizes.
"Hello, can I please get a cost per stud please. Do you do these in different lengths and sizes also?"
"Hello, can I please get a cost per stud please. Do you do these in different lengths and sizes also?"
└UK client searching for Inconel 600 double end stud bolts on our website
I did not quote directly. Instead, I replied: We can provide Inconel studs in different lengths and sizes,
but in order to give an accurate unit price, we need him to provide detailed specifications.
If I quoted directly, there would likely be repeated price revisions later due to inconsistencies in standards, threads, and lengths.
Asking for specifications first is actually helping the client save time and avoid detours.
└Qishine sales reply requesting detailed Inconel stud specs for quotation
Charlie then provided his initial requirements:
50 of M24 x 150mm Inconel Studs
100 of M24 Inconel Washers
100 of M24 Inconel Nuts
50 of M24 x 150mm Inconel Studs
100 of M24 Inconel Washers
100 of M24 Inconel Nuts
He specifically noted that these fasteners need to withstand approximately 600-800°C high temperatures
and still be suitable for bolted connections, and he hoped we could recommend a suitable Inconel grade.
└UK client sent detailed requirements for Inconel 600 studs, nuts, and washers
I quoted according to the client's requirements and sent it to the client.
└We quickly quoted based on the UK client's Inconel 600 fastener requirements
Demand adjustment and quotation correction
Later, the client adjusted the requirements to:
24 pcs M24x150mm Inconel 600 Studs
48 pcs M24 Inconel 600 Nuts
He also asked: Is it possible to reduce the lead time at all?

└UK client adjusted Inconel 600 stud and nut quantities and requested a shorter lead time
We updated the quotation according to his new quantity and told him:
Due to the special material, the production cycle is typically long.
Due to the special material, the production cycle is typically long.
The production time is generally 35 days, which is 5 days less than the previous quotation.
Quotation Transparency:
During the re-quotation communication, I found an error in the previous quotation:
During the re-quotation communication, I found an error in the previous quotation:
the unit prices of the washers and nuts were reversed.
Although the quantities were the same and the total price remained unchanged,
I still proactively explained and corrected the error to the client.
This transparency immediately built trust, and the client subsequently decided to issue a PO.
└We requoted based on new requirements, shortened lead time, and corrected an error
Payment Coordination and Production Arrangement
The client indicated willingness to proceed,
but requested that shipping costs be added to the quotation so they could issue a PO.
└UK client accepted the quote but requested shipping costs be added to issue a PO
We confirmed the delivery address,
then checked FedEx freight cost with our forwarder and updated it in the quotation.
└We requested the delivery address, confirmed FedEx freight, and updated the quote
The next day I received the PO sent by the client.
└We received the PO from the UK client the next day after updating the quote
I sent the PI and told him: After payment, please send me the bank slip.
Once payment is received, we will arrange production immediately.
└We sent the PI: production will start immediately upon receiving the bank slip
Resolving Payment Delay:
Later, the client encountered payment issues: The client said they had arranged payment with the CFO,
but there was a bank authorization problem, and the CEO would contact the bank to resolve it.
"We tried to pay this on Friday; however,
we are having some issues with the bank to authorize it so our CEO will be contacting the bank today to get this resolved."
I did not cancel his production slot just because payment was slow.
Instead, I maintained the production plan to protect the client's project timeline.
We told him: We have already reserved production time for you.
As soon as payment confirmation is received, production will begin immediately.
└UK client's payment was delayed due to authorization, but we kept the schedule
Production List Confirmation:
After receiving payment, we sent a production list to the client for confirmation before production, to avoid mistakes.
This step ensures that all specifications—dimensions, thread types, quantities—are 100% correct before raw material cutting.
└After receiving payment, we promptly sent the production list for client confirmation
Production and Quality Control (MTC)
During production, we proactively updated the UK client on progress:
Studs: Thread rolling stage
Nuts: Turning stage
Estimated shipment: Within next week
Nuts: Turning stage
Estimated shipment: Within next week
└We promptly updated the UK client on the production progress of Inconel 600
Before shipment, I sent product photos, MTC, and shipping mark to Charlie for final confirmation.

All Inconel 600 fasteners are produced and tested according to ASTM B166 standards.
The following are key data from our inspection certificate (EN 10204 3.1):
