Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fittings with 304 stainless steel pipe, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use 304 stainless steel or compatible alloys for all fittings, flanges, and welding consumables to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Insufficient heat input during welding, resulting in poor fusion and potential cracking.Employ proper welding techniques and sufficient heat input for 304 stainless steel to ensure full penetration and avoid sensitization, which can reduce corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure chemical processing pipelines
  • Oil and gas exploration and production systems
  • Advanced hydraulic and pneumatic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature chloride environments without further material consideration, as pitting corrosion can occur.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent contamination and scratching, which can compromise surface integrity and corrosion resistance.
