Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools on brass, leading to excessive heat and tool wear.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for non-ferrous metals like brass, utilizing appropriate lubrication to manage heat and extend tool life.
Inadequate deburring of cut edges, causing contamination or seal damage in hydraulic systems.Thoroughly deburr all edges after cutting and machining using appropriate files or deburring tools, followed by a comprehensive cleaning process.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold fabrication
  • Custom hydraulic valve bodies
  • High-pressure hydraulic fittings and adapters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining brass to avoid inhaling airborne particles.
  • Brass may react with certain aggressive chemicals; consult compatibility charts for specific hydraulic fluid applications.
