Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can cause pitting or staining.Utilize only approved, non-chlorinated cleaning solutions and thoroughly rinse with deionized water.
Improper welding procedures leading to carbide precipitation and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ certified welding techniques for 304 stainless steel, utilizing appropriate filler materials and post-weld heat treatments if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Pressure vessel components
  • Custom hydraulic fitting fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to high concentrations of chlorides, which can lead to pitting and crevice corrosion.
  • Ensure proper passivation after fabrication to restore the protective oxide layer.
