Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Utilize 316 stainless steel fasteners or compatible alloys to maintain corrosion resistance integrity.
Improper welding procedures that can compromise the material's passivation layer.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler material and post-weld passivation to restore corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold fabrication
  • Custom hydraulic component construction
  • Corrosion-resistant enclosures for hydraulic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Ensure proper post-fabrication cleaning and passivation, especially after welding, to maintain optimal corrosion resistance.
