Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive hydraulic environments.Always select 304 stainless steel for its inherent corrosion resistance, especially when exposed to moisture or aggressive fluids.
Improper edge finishing leading to burrs.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to prevent particulate contamination of the hydraulic system and potential leaks.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Custom Hydraulic Component Fabrication
  • Pressure Vessels and Reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed for 304 stainless steel to maintain its corrosion resistance.
