Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that may corrode and compromise the stainless steel's integrity.Utilize 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners specifically designed for corrosive environments.
Improper handling leading to scratches or surface damage, which can initiate corrosion points.Handle the sheet with care, using non-abrasive tools and protective coverings during installation and transport.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant transfer channels
  • Bearing housing components
  • Sump plates and drip trays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses and gloves when handling metal sheets.
  • Avoid exposing the material to environments with high concentrations of chlorides or strong acids, which can degrade stainless steel.
