Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for corrosive environments.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to saltwater, acids, or aggressive chemicals to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Inadequate support leading to deformation.Ensure the sheet is adequately supported across its entire surface, especially for larger dimensions, to maintain flatness and dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Precision measurement templates
  • Inspection surface plates
  • Custom jig and fixture fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
