Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel for corrosive hydraulic media.Always specify 316 stainless steel or equivalent for applications involving saltwater, chemicals, or high-temperature corrosive fluids.
Inadequate edge preparation for welding, leading to weld defects.Ensure proper beveling and cleaning of edges prior to welding to achieve full penetration and avoid inclusions.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Pressure Vessel Components
  • Corrosive Fluid Handling Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper passivation after welding to restore maximum corrosion resistance.
  • Handle with care to prevent surface contamination which can initiate corrosion.
