Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners instead of stainless steel.Always use 300-series stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure longevity of the installation.
Improper handling leading to surface scratches that could affect lubricant flow.Handle the sheet with care, using gloves and protective coverings during cutting and installation to maintain the integrity of the surface finish.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant containment and distribution systems
  • Anti-friction surfaces and guides
  • Components within bearing assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or fabricating stainless steel.
  • Ensure compatibility of lubricants with 304 stainless steel to prevent unintended chemical reactions.
