Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel grades in corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving chlorides, acids, or other aggressive chemicals to ensure longevity and prevent premature failure.
Improper edge finishing after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to eliminate stress concentrations that can lead to cracking or reduced performance in dynamic lubricating systems.

Common Applications

  • Components for specialized lubrication systems
  • Wear plates and guides in corrosive environments
  • Parts for food and pharmaceutical processing equipment requiring lubrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate safety equipment to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
  • Verify chemical compatibility with specific lubricants and operational fluids before use.
