Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper handling leading to surface scratches or dents.Always handle with clean gloves and avoid dragging the sheet across abrasive surfaces. Store in a protective enclosure.
Inadequate mounting causing warping or dimensional inaccuracy.Ensure mounting points are evenly distributed and fasteners are torqued appropriately to maintain flatness. Consider using a full-surface adhesive for maximum stability.

Common Applications

  • Precision Gauge Substrates
  • Inspection Fixture Bases
  • Master Reference Surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May rust if exposed to moisture and corrosive environments. Proper surface treatment or coatings are recommended for longevity.
  • Sharp edges can cause injury. Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including cut-resistant gloves.
