Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which will corrode and stain the stainless steel.Always utilize 304 or 316 grade stainless steel fasteners to maintain the corrosion resistance of the assembly.
Exposing the sheet to ferrous materials during cutting or fabrication which can cause surface contamination and rust.Use dedicated, clean tools and work surfaces for stainless steel to prevent iron particle contamination.

Common Applications
