Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ carbide-tipped or high-speed steel tooling with appropriate rake angles and lubrication to prevent galling and ensure clean cuts.
Neglecting proper edge finishing after machining.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges and drilled holes to eliminate sharp points that could cause wear or particle generation within the hydraulic system.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Structural Components for Mobile Hydraulics
  • Fluid Reservoirs and Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids to prevent material degradation.
  • Avoid excessive heat during machining, which can alter the alloy's temper and mechanical properties.
