Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, which can cause contamination and reduce corrosion resistance.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools (e.g., shear blades, plasma cutters) and ensure they are clean and sharp.
Overheating during welding, leading to sensitization and potential intergranular corrosion.Employ proper welding procedures with low heat input, such as TIG welding with argon shielding, and consider post-weld annealing if high-temperature service is anticipated.

Common Applications

  • Custom gaskets for pressure vessels
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Fabrication of specialized seals for high-temperature applications
  • Liners for control equipment exposed to corrosive media

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling sheet metal.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with chlorides or acidic environments, which can lead to pitting corrosion in 304 stainless steel.
