Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive environments.Always specify 304 stainless steel for applications involving exposure to acids, caustics, or high humidity to prevent premature degradation.
Improper welding procedures leading to sensitization.Employ skilled welders and follow best practices for stainless steel welding, such as using appropriate filler materials and minimizing heat input, to maintain corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with chlorides, as pitting corrosion can occur.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent surface scratching or contamination, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
