Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tooling without proper lubrication or cooling.Employ high-speed steel or carbide tooling with appropriate cutting fluids to prevent excessive heat buildup and tool wear when machining 304 stainless steel.
Overlooking the need for edge finishing after cutting.Always deburr and chamfer cut edges to prevent snagging, improve sealing surfaces, and avoid potential particle generation within the pneumatic system.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Component substrates in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or marring the surface, which could compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed if fabrication requires joining to prevent sensitization and maintain corrosion resistance.
