Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 304 stainless steel or compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Improper welding techniques leading to reduced corrosion resistance or structural weakness.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials and shielding gas as recommended for 304 stainless steel.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Combustion Chamber Linings
  • Industrial Ductwork and Venting
