Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive hydraulic environments.Always specify 304 or 316 stainless steel for hydraulic components exposed to corrosive fluids or atmospheres to prevent premature failure due to oxidation and pitting.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting.Thoroughly deburr and clean all cut edges to prevent the introduction of metallic particulates into the hydraulic fluid, which can damage seals and precision components.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Reservoir Components
  • Custom Hydraulic System Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent scratching or contamination of the surface finish.
  • Weld procedures for 304 stainless steel must be followed to maintain corrosion resistance.
