Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible lubricants that can cause pitting or staining on the stainless steel surface.Consult lubricant compatibility charts and select fluids specifically approved for use with 304 stainless steel.
Improper handling leading to scratches or gouges that can compromise surface integrity and initiate corrosion.Utilize non-marring handling equipment and avoid dragging the sheet across abrasive surfaces.

Common Applications

  • Wear plates in conveyor systems
  • Guide rails for automated machinery
  • Components within fluid handling systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting, grinding, or welding operations.
