Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate fasteners that can corrode and compromise the sheet's integrity.Utilize 304 stainless steel or other compatible, corrosion-resistant fasteners to maintain system integrity.
Over-stressing the material during forming operations, leading to work hardening or cracking.Perform forming operations slowly and with appropriate tooling, considering the alloy's work hardening characteristics.

Common Applications

  • Conveyor belt surfaces
  • Chute liners for material handling
  • Machine guards and covers
  • Bearings and bushings in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • While resistant to many chemicals, prolonged exposure to certain aggressive acids or chlorides may cause pitting or stress corrosion cracking.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can scratch the surface and potentially create sites for corrosion initiation.
