Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for hydraulic components exposed to corrosive fluids.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel for its superior corrosion resistance in hydraulic applications.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting, leading to potential failure points.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to remove sharp corners and prevent stress concentrations.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • Valve Body Machining
  • Hydraulic Cylinder Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed to maintain corrosion resistance if welding is required.
