Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 304 stainless steel.Always use stainless steel fasteners of compatible grade (e.g., 304 or 316) to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper cleaning of the sheet surface before welding.Thoroughly degrease and clean the weld area with stainless steel-specific cleaning agents to remove any oils, grease, or particulate matter that could compromise weld quality.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • High-temperature ducting systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong acids and chlorides, which can lead to pitting corrosion.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and welding operations to mitigate fume inhalation.
