Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum cutting tools not designed for alloy 6061, leading to burrs and material stress.Employ carbide-tipped or specialized aluminum cutting tools and ensure proper feed rates and speeds.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion and contraction in the design of assembled hydraulic components.Incorporate appropriate expansion joints or material allowances in the overall system design.

Common Applications
