Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate cutting tools that create excessive burrs or heat-affected zones.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools designed for stainless steel and maintain appropriate cutting speeds to minimize heat and burr formation. Deburr edges thoroughly after cutting.
Improper sealing or fastening, leading to bypass or structural failure.Utilize appropriate sealing materials (e.g., gaskets, high-temperature sealants) and secure the sheet with robust mechanical fasteners or by professional welding, ensuring all joints are leak-tight and structurally sound.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Fluid Filtration
  • Custom Strainer Fabrication
  • Screening and Sieving Media

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or handling metal sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting or welding operations to avoid inhalation of fumes.
