Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion when in contact with stainless steel.Utilize 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners and hardware to maintain material compatibility and prevent corrosion.
Inadequate edge preparation prior to welding, resulting in poor weld penetration and potential structural failure.Properly bevel or prepare the edges for welding according to industry best practices for 304 stainless steel to ensure full penetration and a strong, reliable joint.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic control panel enclosures
  • Structural supports for pneumatic machinery
