Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools with adequate coolant and lubrication to prevent excessive heat buildup and tool damage.
Neglecting post-weld cleaning and passivation.Thoroughly clean weld areas to remove scale and contaminants, followed by passivation to restore the protective chromium oxide layer and prevent localized corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated industrial components
  • Food processing equipment fabrication
  • Chemical tank and vessel construction

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Material may have sharp edges; always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Avoid contact with strong acids and chlorides which can degrade stainless steel's passive layer.
