Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel in corrosive lubricant environments.Always specify 304 stainless steel for its inherent corrosion resistance, preventing premature degradation and lubricant contamination.
Leaving cut edges sharp and unfinished.Thoroughly deburr and smooth all cut edges to maintain surface integrity and prevent potential damage to seals or lubricant pathways.

Common Applications

  • Bearings and bushings
  • Guide rails and channels
  • Lubricant containment systems
  • Sealing surfaces in pump and valve assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling sheet metal.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding stainless steel.
