Why Choose TENGHUI for Automotive Parts?

Work with a team that reviews your drawings, identifies manufacturing risks, and coordinates machining, finishing, and inspection.

ISO 9001 Quality Management

Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system supports production control and inspection against agreed drawing requirements.

In-House CNC Machining

CNC milling and turning for custom metal and plastic parts, from individual prototypes to repeat orders.

Drawing & DFM Review

We review tolerances, tool access, wall thickness, threads, and finishing requirements before production. Manufacturing concerns are raised for your approval.

Material & Documentation Review

Material grade, supply condition, and required documentation are confirmed during quotation. Substitutions require approval.

Coordinated Surface Finishing

Anodizing, plating, powder coating, and other suitable treatments are reviewed against the material and application.

Delivery Planning

Straightforward CNC prototypes can often be completed in 3–7 working days. Production and finishing schedules are confirmed after technical review.

Automotive Prototyping & Production Support

We manufacture parts for fit checks, assembly trials, test equipment, and development builds. Repeat orders are reviewed against the approved drawings, quantities, and inspection requirements.

Materials for Automotive Parts & Tooling

Material selection follows the drawing and application. Grade, condition, availability, and documentation are confirmed before ordering.

Material Selection Notes Typical Parts
Aluminum 6061 A common choice for machined parts requiring a balance of weight, machinability, and finishing options. Housings, brackets, mounting plates, and fixtures.
Aluminum 7075 Considered where higher strength is required; corrosion protection and joining methods need review. Loaded machined components and tooling.
Carbon & Alloy Steel Grade and condition selected for strength, welding, wear, or heat treatment requirements. Shafts, adapters, fixture bases, and fabricated brackets.
Stainless Steel 304 / 316L Selected according to corrosion exposure, fabrication, and surface requirements. Mounting hardware, housings, and equipment components.
POM / Acetal Useful for selected sliding and locating components; temperature and creep require consideration. Bushings, guides, rollers, and spacers.
Nylon / PA Grade and moisture condition affect dimensions and mechanical performance. Wear pads, rollers, guides, and prototypes.
ABS A practical option for machined housings and assembly models. Covers, enclosures, and development parts.
PC / PMMA PC emphasizes toughness; PMMA emphasizes clear appearance. Finishing and chemical exposure require review. Viewing components, covers, and visual prototypes.

Material suitability must be assessed for the specific component. A material name alone does not establish automotive qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What quality certification does TENGHUI hold?

TENGHUI holds ISO 9001:2015 certification.

If your project requires additional automotive qualifications, PPAP submissions, or customer-specific quality procedures, include these requirements with your inquiry so we can assess capability before accepting the order.

2. What types of automotive projects do you support?

We support development parts, prototype housings, brackets, adapters, sensor mounts, and test or assembly tooling.

Production scope is confirmed after reviewing the drawing, quantity, function, and acceptance requirements.

3. Can you provide material reports and traceability?

Material documentation and traceability requirements are reviewed during quotation.

Please specify the required report type, material identification, and batch-tracking requirements before ordering. Availability depends on the selected material and procurement route.

4. How do you support repeat production after prototyping?

Before repeat production, we confirm the approved drawing revision, material, finishing, inspection requirements, and quantity.

Where needed, dedicated workholding and first-part approval can be included in the production plan. Capacity and delivery are assessed for the specific component.

5. What tolerances can you achieve?

Selected CNC-machined features can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.01 mm, subject to engineering review.

Achievable limits depend on feature size, geometry, material, heat treatment, and finishing. Threads, fits, and geometric tolerances should be specified individually.

Dimensional reports and CMM inspection can be discussed during quotation. Inspection coverage and methods are agreed for the order.

6. What surface finishes do you offer?

Options include anodizing, nickel or zinc plating, passivation, and powder coating where suitable for the material and application.

Specify the finish standard, thickness, color, masking areas, and corrosion or appearance requirements. Heat treatment and specialized processes are assessed separately.

7. What information do you need for a quotation?

Please provide:

  • A 3D CAD model and a 2D drawing.
  • Material grade and condition.
  • Prototype and expected repeat-order quantities.
  • Critical dimensions, threads, and surface requirements.
  • Finishing and heat treatment specifications.
  • Inspection, documentation, and approval requirements.
  • Target delivery date and shipping destination.

For development projects, identify the intended test and whether production material is required.
