Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fasteners that can lead to leaks under pressure.Utilize fasteners specifically rated for the operating pressure and compatible with Aluminum 6061 to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Failing to properly deburr edges after cutting, which can cause seal damage.Ensure all cut edges are smoothly deburred to prevent premature wear or damage to seals and O-rings.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Cylinder End Caps and Pistons
  • Structural Components in Hydraulic Assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with other materials in the hydraulic system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Machining operations should be performed with appropriate cutting fluids to maintain material integrity and tool life.
