Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which will corrode and stain the stainless steel.Always utilize 300-series stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 304 or 316) to maintain the corrosion resistance of the entire assembly.
Exposing the material to prolonged contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments, leading to galvanic corrosion.Isolate 304 stainless steel from dissimilar metals using non-conductive barriers or select materials with similar electrochemical potential where possible.

Common Applications
