Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard mild steel fabrication techniques which may not be suitable for aluminum's thermal conductivity or machining characteristics.Employ specific tooling and speeds/feeds optimized for aluminum alloy 6061 to prevent tool wear and achieve desired surface finish.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to poor sealing in hydraulic connections.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges and surfaces that will interface with seals or other components to ensure a leak-free assembly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Cylinder End Caps
  • Structural Hydraulic Components
  • Fluid Power System Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when machining or handling aluminum stock.
