Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive hydraulic environments.Always specify and utilize 304 or higher-grade stainless steel for components exposed to corrosive fluids or atmospheres to prevent premature failure and contamination.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting.Thoroughly deburr and polish all cut edges to remove sharp burrs and potential sites for crack initiation or fluid entrapment, ensuring a smooth finish critical for hydraulic sealing.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Pump and Valve Housings
  • Fluid Power System Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of machining fluids and coolants with 304 stainless steel to avoid surface contamination.
  • Proper material handling procedures are required to prevent scratching or damage to the sheet surface, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
