Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using generic aluminum alloys for hydraulic applications.Always specify Aluminum 6061 or a comparable alloy known for its strength and corrosion resistance suitable for hydraulic pressures.
Neglecting edge finishing after cutting.Properly deburr and chamfer all cut edges to prevent premature fatigue and ensure a smooth surface for sealing or further processing.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Custom Hydraulic Component Fabrication
  • Fluid Power System Structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Consult relevant engineering standards for specific hydraulic system pressure and material compatibility.
