Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion when in contact with stainless steel.Utilize 304 or 316 grade stainless steel fasteners to maintain material compatibility and prevent corrosion.
Improper handling leading to surface scratching or deformation, compromising aesthetic and protective qualities.Handle sheets with clean gloves and use non-abrasive materials for transport and manipulation. Employ protective films if surface integrity is paramount.

Common Applications

  • Custom Shipping Crate Fabrication
