Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding consumables for 304 stainless steel, leading to reduced corrosion resistance.Always use welding electrodes or filler metals specifically designed for 304 stainless steel, such as E308L or ER308L.
Inadequate cleaning after fabrication, leaving surface contaminants that can initiate pitting corrosion.Thoroughly clean the fabricated component using non-chlorinated alkaline cleaners or pickling solutions, followed by a passivation treatment.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Industrial Oven Linings
  • Flue Gas Ducting

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Thick gauge material requires appropriate lifting and handling equipment to prevent injury.
  • Fabrication processes such as cutting and welding can generate heat and fumes; ensure adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment.
