Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding consumables for 304 stainless steel.Employ filler metals specifically recommended for 304 stainless steel to prevent carbide precipitation and maintain corrosion resistance.
Insufficient edge preparation for sealing or joining.Ensure all edges are precisely machined and free from burrs or contaminants to guarantee a secure and leak-free seal in hydraulic assemblies.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Custom hydraulic component housing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent surface scratching, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper post-fabrication cleaning and passivation to restore maximum corrosion resistance.
