Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can introduce iron contamination and lead to corrosion.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain strict separation from carbon steel materials during all fabrication steps.
Improper welding procedures leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ low-heat input welding techniques and post-weld annealing if required by the application's service conditions.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent scratches or deformations that could compromise integrity.
  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is used during cutting, grinding, and welding operations.
