Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel for corrosive environments.Always specify 304 or higher stainless steel for applications involving exposure to acids, chlorides, or high humidity to prevent premature corrosion.
Inadequate consideration of thermal expansion during design.Factor in the coefficient of thermal expansion for 304 stainless steel (approximately 16.0 µm/m°C) when designing assemblies to prevent stress and deformation.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Furnace Linings and Casings
  • High-Temperature Ductwork

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and fabrication processes.
