Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate cutting tools that can cause burrs or deformation.Utilize sharp, high-quality cutting blades designed for stainless steel to ensure clean, precise edges.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding or forming processes.Implement appropriate welding procedures and allowances for expansion to prevent distortion of the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
