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 and maintain the integrity of the installation.
Improper handling leading to surface contamination.Handle with clean gloves to avoid oil or chemical contamination, which can compromise the passive layer and lead to corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Custom Brackets and Hangers
  • Support Structures in Corrosive Environments
  • Industrial Shelving and Mounting Plates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during fabrication and installation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding stainless steel to avoid hazardous fumes.
