Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality and potential work hardening.Employ carbide-tipped or diamond-edged cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, ensuring proper lubrication and cooling.
Inadequate cleaning after fabrication, leaving behind welding flux or grinding residue that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean all surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner and rinse with deionized water after fabrication, followed by passivation if required by the application.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • High-temperature heat exchangers
  • Chemical processing equipment components
  • Control valve bodies
  • Steam system ducting

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging the surface, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure compatibility of welding consumables and procedures with 304 stainless steel to maintain material integrity.
