Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to edge deformation.Utilize sharp, appropriate cutting tools designed for aluminum alloys and maintain proper feed rates to prevent edge damage.
Inadequate deburring of machined edges, creating particle hazards.Thoroughly deburr all cut and machined edges to remove any sharp fragments or burrs that could compromise fluid cleanliness.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Custom Fluid Power Housings
  • Structural Support for Hydraulic Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury from sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to manage aluminum dust.
