Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with stainless steel components.Always use 304 stainless steel or equivalent grade fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term integrity.
Improper welding techniques leading to sensitization.Employ proper welding procedures, such as TIG welding with argon shielding gas, and avoid prolonged heating in the 425°C to 850°C range to maintain corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Food processing equipment
  • Chemical processing tanks
  • Marine hardware

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
