Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard hardware instead of corrosion-resistant fasteners.Always utilize 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain structural integrity.
Overheating the material during fabrication, leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ proper welding and cutting techniques with minimal heat input, followed by post-weld cleaning to restore the passive layer.

Common Applications

  • Reinforcement plates for rigging and lifting equipment
  • Custom fabricated winch components
  • Structural supports in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges and potential cuts.
  • Ensure proper grounding when performing welding or cutting operations.
