Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners instead of stainless steelAlways use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain structural integrity.
Inadequate weld preparation for stainless steelEnsure thorough cleaning and proper joint preparation to achieve a strong, corrosion-resistant weld bead, free from contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of heavy-duty lifting lugs and eyes
  • Reinforcing plates for structural connections in corrosive environments
  • Components for marine-grade pulling and mooring systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always adhere to proper safety protocols when handling and fabricating sheet metal.
  • Ensure compatibility of all associated hardware and welding consumables with 304 stainless steel to prevent premature failure.
