Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel or carbon steel for hydraulic components.Always specify and utilize 304 stainless steel or equivalent for its superior corrosion resistance and strength in hydraulic systems.
Inadequate surface preparation before fabrication or installation.Thoroughly clean the 304 stainless steel sheet to prevent contamination that could compromise hydraulic fluid integrity or component performance.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Pressure vessel components
  • Hydraulic valve bodies
  • Fluid power system fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed for 304 stainless steel to maintain its corrosion resistance.
  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging the surface, which can affect performance in critical applications.
