Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel which will corrode and contaminate lubricants.Always utilize 304 stainless steel for its superior corrosion resistance and non-reactivity with lubricants.
Improper cutting leading to burrs that can shed into the lubrication system.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools and deburr all edges thoroughly after cutting to prevent particulate contamination.

Common Applications

  • Custom wear plates for lubricating machinery
  • Protective barriers in high-moisture lubricant environments
  • Components for specialized greasing systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Ensure compatibility of the 304 stainless steel with all specific lubricants and operating conditions.
