Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper handling leading to surface scratches or contamination.Handle with clean, lint-free gloves and avoid dragging across abrasive surfaces. Store in protective packaging.
Using incompatible welding consumables or procedures, resulting in reduced corrosion resistance.Employ 308L stainless steel filler material for TIG or MIG welding. Ensure proper pre-heat and post-weld cleaning to maintain the passive oxide layer.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Junction Boxes
  • Lighting Fixture Housings & Mounts
  • Control Panel Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
