Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel susceptible to corrosion in hydraulic fluid.Always specify 316 stainless steel for its superior resistance to corrosive hydraulic media and environmental factors.
Inadequate post-machining cleaning leading to surface contamination.Thoroughly degrease and passivate all machined surfaces to prevent premature corrosion and ensure fluid cleanliness.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Pressure Vessel Components
  • Marine Hydraulic Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Machining may generate heat; implement appropriate cooling to prevent thermal distortion.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage to avoid surface scratches or contamination, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
