Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel in corrosive environments, leading to premature degradation.Always select 304 stainless steel or a comparable corrosion-resistant alloy for applications exposed to moisture or chemicals.
Inadequate surface preparation before lubrication application, resulting in poor adhesion and uneven distribution.Thoroughly degrease and clean the stainless steel surface to ensure optimal lubricant performance and longevity.

Common Applications

  • Conveyor system components requiring low friction
  • Bearing housings in corrosive environments
  • Specialized lubrication delivery substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always handle stainless steel with clean gloves to prevent contamination and oxidation.
  • When cutting or fabricating, ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment due to potential dust generation.
