Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners that will corrode prematurely when in contact with 304 stainless steel.Utilize 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to maintain galvanic compatibility and prevent galvanic corrosion.
Inadequate cleaning of the stainless steel surface post-fabrication, leaving behind contaminants that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean all surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning agents and rinse with deionized water, followed by a thorough drying.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosure fabrication
  • Lighting fixture mounting hardware
  • Control panel substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can scratch the surface and compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or welding 304 stainless steel.
