Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible cutting tools that can cause work hardening or contamination.Utilize carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, ensuring proper lubrication during the cutting process.
Improper cleaning after fabrication, leaving behind residues that can interfere with lubrication.Thoroughly degrease and clean the fabricated part with an appropriate solvent to remove all machining oils and contaminants before installation.

Common Applications

  • Components for grease and oil dispensing systems
  • Splash guards and deflectors in high-wear machinery
  • Chute liners and guides in material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel sheets.
  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., carbon steel) during fabrication and installation to prevent galvanic corrosion.
