Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum to prevent galling and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient surface preparation before integration into the lubrication system.Thoroughly degrease and deburr all edges and mating surfaces to guarantee optimal performance and prevent premature wear.

Common Applications

  • Lubrication system manifolds
  • Pump housings
  • Gear and bearing supports
