| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel for hydraulic components in corrosive environments. | Always specify 304 or higher grade stainless steel for hydraulic applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater to prevent premature corrosion and failure. |
| Inadequate cleaning of the sheet surface before machining. | Thoroughly degrease and clean the 304 stainless steel sheet to remove any contaminants that could interfere with machining or compromise the integrity of the final component. |
