Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners that can corrode and contaminate the stainless steel.Always use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to maintain corrosion resistance and material integrity.
Improper cleaning before welding, leading to surface contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Thoroughly degrease and clean the weld area with stainless steel specific solvents prior to welding.

Common Applications

  • Heat exchanger components
  • Ductwork and plenums for high-temperature air
  • Boiler and furnace casings
  • Industrial oven liners
  • Radiant heating panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with chlorides, as they can lead to pitting corrosion.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid exposure to potentially harmful fumes.
