Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools that can cause galvanic corrosion due to iron contamination.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting and forming tools to maintain material purity and prevent contamination.
Ignoring edge finishing, leading to burrs that can shed particles into the hydraulic fluid.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using fine-grit abrasive stones or files, followed by a solvent wipe.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • High-pressure hydraulic tubing
  • Fluid connectors and fittings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling to avoid scratching or marring the surface, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or fabricating stainless steel.
