Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a non-hardened steel for high-pressure hydraulic components.Always specify and verify the material grade and hardness to ensure it meets the pressure and fatigue requirements of the hydraulic system.
Inadequate surface preparation before machining.Thoroughly degrease and clean the steel sheet to prevent tool contamination and ensure optimal machining results and component sealing.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • Hydraulic Cylinder Bases
  • Hydraulic Reservoir Construction

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Material is susceptible to corrosion; proper surface treatment and protection are recommended.
  • Ensure appropriate safety equipment is used during machining and handling due to sharp edges and potential for metal chips.
