1. Supply Chain Stability Verification (Core for 80% Buyers)

• Critical Question:
  “When Russian nickel exports are restricted, can your supplier guarantee Hastelloy inventory?”

• Our Solution:
  ✅ Demand real-time inventory reports (e.g., 2,000+ tons nickel-based alloys + futures hedging)
  ✅ Verify multi-port contingency plans (Case: Redirected shipment from congested Shenzhen to Qingdao Port in 72hrs)

2. Quality Assurance System (Engineers’ Top Concern)

Avoid “Test Report Traps”

• Industry Truth:
  Most suppliers provide batch sampling reports while shipping non-standard materials

• Verification Strategy:
  🔍 Require per-batch laser marking (scan for mill certificates/video test records)
  🔍 Check equipment calibration certificates (e.g., monthly updated Olympus XRF reports)
