Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 304 stainless steel.Always use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning, leading to surface contamination.Thoroughly clean welded areas with a passivation solution to restore full corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Structural supports in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and fabrication.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting, grinding, or welding to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
