Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to galling and contamination.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped tools specifically designed for stainless steel fabrication, ensuring adequate lubrication.
Inadequate deburring after cutting, leading to potential for operator injury and debris contamination in hydraulic systems.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files or specialized deburring tools, and visually inspect for any sharp fragments.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Fluid reservoirs and tanks
  • Structural components in hydraulic systems
  • Custom hydraulic component fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when fabricating.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and welding operations to remove fumes.
