Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that cannot adequately support the sheet's weight and stress.Employ fasteners with a tensile strength and diameter rated for the anticipated load and the thickness of the stainless steel.
Improper welding techniques leading to heat-affected zones (HAZ) that compromise corrosion resistance.Utilize TIG welding with appropriate filler metals for 304 stainless steel, minimizing heat input and ensuring post-weld cleaning.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated hoppers and chutes
  • Wear plates and liners for conveyors
  • Structural components in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate lifting equipment due to significant weight.
