Conductivity is a material property, not a process plan
Conductive material machining is a broad phrase that can refer to different part-making routes. Electrical conductivity alone does not mean every part should be made by Wire EDM. The geometry, material grade, required features and acceptance criteria determine which process should be reviewed.
Define the workpiece and required features
Provide the exact alloy or material designation, condition, drawing revision and quantity. Mark the features that control fit or function, including datums, holes, slots, profiles and surface requirements. If the request specifically needs EDM, identify the conductive material and the cut geometry.
Keep scope and inspection aligned
List secondary finishing, coating, masking and inspection evidence. Use measurable dimensions with units and state how critical features will be checked. Ask the supplier to confirm the process route and exclusions against the actual part rather than relying on a broad material category.

RFQ checklist
- Exact material grade and condition
- Current model and drawing revision
- Required geometry and critical features
- Process requirements or open route questions
- Finish, inspection, quantity and packaging
Confirm the selected process and its acceptance criteria for the specific material and geometry.
