Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a less corrosion-resistant alloy for hydraulic fluid contact.Always select alloys like 6061 for components exposed to hydraulic fluids to prevent premature degradation.
Inadequate surface preparation before sealing or joining.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces to ensure leak-free hydraulic connections.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Accumulator Housings
  • Custom Hydraulic Component Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals that may compromise aluminum integrity.
  • Ensure proper grounding when welding to prevent electrical discharge that could damage the material.
