Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use stainless steel fasteners compatible with 304 grade to prevent corrosion at connection points.
Applying excessive heat during welding that can alter the stainless steel's corrosion resistance.Employ proper welding techniques, such as TIG welding with argon shielding gas, and minimize heat input to maintain the material's protective oxide layer.

Common Applications
