Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate deburring after machining, leading to potential fluid contamination or flow obstruction.Utilize appropriate deburring tools to create smooth, clean edges on all machined surfaces.
Using standard cutting fluids instead of those compatible with aluminum alloys, causing galling or surface damage.Employ cutting fluids specifically designed for aluminum machining to ensure optimal surface finish and tool life.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Custom Fluid Power Components
  • Aerospace Hydraulic Structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for direct exposure to highly aggressive corrosive environments without protective coatings.
  • Machining should be performed with appropriate coolant and tooling to prevent overheating and maintain dimensional accuracy.
