Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion when in contact with stainless steel.Utilize fasteners made of 304 or 316 stainless steel to maintain material compatibility and prevent corrosion.
Improper welding techniques, such as using incorrect filler metals or insufficient heat input, leading to weakened joints.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler material (e.g., 308L for 304 SS) and control heat input to achieve strong, corrosion-resistant welds.

Common Applications

  • Pressure Vessel Fabrication
  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • High-Temperature Processing Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during welding or fabrication processes.
