Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for welding. This can lead to galvanic corrosion and compromised structural integrity.Always use 308 or 309 stainless steel filler material when welding 304 stainless steel to maintain corrosion resistance.
Improper cleaning before fabrication or welding. Surface contaminants can lead to weld defects and premature corrosion.Thoroughly degrease and clean the stainless steel surface with a non-abrasive cleaner and rinse with deionized water before any fabrication or welding.

Common Applications

  • Custom Heat Exchanger Fabrication
  • Industrial Oven and Furnace Linings
