Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel welding rods which will lead to rust at the weld joints.Always utilize 308L stainless steel filler material for TIG or MIG welding to ensure weld integrity and corrosion resistance.
Improper handling leading to surface scratches which can compromise aesthetic and functional integrity.Handle sheets with care, using gloves and protecting the surface with appropriate film or padding during cutting, forming, and installation.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Fabrication
  • Industrial Furnace Components
  • High-Temperature Ductwork

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection during fabrication.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when welding or cutting to avoid inhalation of hazardous fumes.
