Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for the operating environment.Employ fasteners made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term joint integrity.
Inadequate sealing leading to fluid leakage.Utilize high-quality sealants specifically designed for the type of lubricant being used and the operating pressures involved.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoirs
  • Pump housing components
  • Manifold fabrication for fluid distribution

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper grounding when performing welding operations to prevent damage to the material.
  • Handle with care to avoid scratches or deformation that could compromise sealing surfaces.
