Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize 316 stainless steel or other compatible, highly corrosion-resistant fasteners to maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Introducing contaminants during cutting or shaping that could initiate corrosion.Employ dedicated tools for stainless steel and ensure thorough cleaning of the work area and the sheet before and after fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Corrosive environment fabrication
  • Material handling component substrates
  • Marine and offshore equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent scratching or gouging which can compromise surface integrity.
  • Avoid contact with carbon steel or other dissimilar metals during fabrication and installation to prevent galvanic corrosion.
