Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or uneven edges that compromise subsequent fabrication.Employ high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for carbon steel, such as abrasive cut-off wheels or plasma cutters, and deburr edges thoroughly.
Inadequate weld preparation, resulting in weak or porous welds prone to failure under hydraulic pressure.Thoroughly clean weld joint areas, remove any mill scale or rust, and utilize appropriate welding consumables and procedures for carbon steel.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
