Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for hydraulic manifold fabrication.Always specify and use 304 or 316 stainless steel for hydraulic components to prevent premature corrosion and system failure.
Inadequate deburring after cutting or machining.Thoroughly deburr all edges after fabrication to prevent particulate contamination within the hydraulic fluid, which can damage seals and pumps.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • High-Pressure Fluid Connectors
  • Corrosion-Resistant Hydraulic Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper tooling and techniques are used for cutting and forming to avoid material work hardening and potential cracking.
  • Weld procedures must be compatible with 304 stainless steel to maintain corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
