Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can embed iron particles, leading to rust.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure they are clean and free from contaminants.
Neglecting edge finishing after cutting, creating potential leak paths or stress points.Thoroughly deburr and smooth all cut edges using appropriate finishing techniques to maintain system integrity.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • High-Pressure Valve Bodies
  • Pump Component Manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating sheet metal.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding stainless steel to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
