    Manufacturing notes

    Orient so internal cavities stay flushable after support removal. Mark any sealing, bearing, or flange faces that must be secondary-finished.

    What to put on the RFQ

    • Preferred alloy family
    • Envelope and critical flatness or bore positions
    • Any coating keep-out zones (state them; we do not invent certifications)
