Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for hydraulic components in corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for its superior corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding hydraulic applications.
Neglecting proper edge finishing after cutting.Thoroughly deburr and polish all cut edges to prevent stress concentrations and potential fatigue failures.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • Pressure Vessel Components
  • Seawater and Marine Hydraulic Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with chlorides and strong acids, which can degrade even 316 stainless steel over extended periods.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed to maintain the material's corrosion resistance, particularly in the heat-affected zone.
