Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tooling which can lead to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Utilize dedicated stainless steel tooling and ensure thorough cleaning of all equipment before and after processing.
Inadequate edge finishing after cutting, leading to stress risers and potential premature failure.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges and consider radius-ing sharp corners to distribute stress effectively.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Corrosion-resistant pneumatic valve bodies
  • Industrial pneumatic control enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid surface scratching, which can compromise passivation.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific pneumatic media and operating temperatures.
