Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel for corrosive hydraulic applications.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel or equivalent for optimal corrosion resistance in hydraulic systems.
Improper machining techniques leading to work hardening or stress concentration.Employ slow cutting speeds, appropriate lubrication, and sharp tooling when machining 316 stainless steel to maintain material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Valve Bodies
  • Pressure Vessel Components
  • Corrosion-Resistant Fittings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper passivation after welding or fabrication to maintain maximum corrosion resistance.
  • Handle with care to avoid surface scratching, which can initiate localized corrosion.
