Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and compromised edge integrity.Employ sharp, dedicated metal cutting tools such as abrasive cut-off wheels, band saws with appropriate blades, or plasma/laser cutters specifically designed for stainless steel.
Inadequate surface preparation before integration into the system, causing premature wear or contamination.Thoroughly degrease and clean all surfaces of the fabricated component. Consider passivation if exposed to particularly aggressive environments or if stringent cleanliness is required.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoirs and containment systems
  • Wear plates and guides in high-friction areas
  • Fabricated components for industrial pumps and fluid handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel, including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding stainless steel to avoid exposure to hazardous fumes.
