Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize 304 stainless steel or equivalent corrosion-resistant fasteners for all connections.
Inadequate edge preparation, leading to stress concentrations and potential failure.Ensure all cut edges are deburred and smoothed to eliminate sharp points and potential failure initiation sites.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated washdown stations
  • Protective wall cladding in food processing areas
