Key Factors for Material Selection

Working environment: including temperature, humidity, chemical corrosion, etc.
Working pressure: The material needs to be able to withstand the working pressure of the system.
Cost: The cost of different materials varies greatly, and a balance needs to be found between performance and cost.
Processability: The material needs to adapt to the required processing methods, such as welding, bending, machining, etc.
Weight: In some applications, weight reduction is an important consideration.

Depending on the specific application and requirements, the most suitable material can be selected to customize the hydraulic manifold. Generally, stainless steel and aluminum alloys are the most commonly used materials because they provide a good performance and cost-effectiveness ratio.
