Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade steel for corrosive environmentsAlways select 304 stainless steel or equivalent for applications exposed to corrosive agents.
Improper welding techniques for stainless steelEmploy GTAW (TIG) or GMAW (MIG) welding with appropriate filler materials and pre/post-weld heat treatment if necessary to maintain corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic control panel enclosures
  • High-pressure pneumatic manifolds
  • Structural supports for pneumatic equipment in corrosive atmospheres

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper safety precautions are taken during fabrication and installation, including personal protective equipment.
  • Verify compatibility of 304 stainless steel with specific chemicals and operating temperatures within the pneumatic system.
