Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality metal cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel to ensure clean cuts and prevent material damage.
Inadequate cleaning of the sheet before fabrication, potentially introducing contaminants.Thoroughly degrease and clean the stainless steel sheet with a suitable solvent and lint-free cloths prior to any cutting, bending, or welding operations.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder components
  • Air preparation unit housings
  • Pneumatic manifold blocks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Ensure compatibility with other materials in the pneumatic system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
