Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive lubrication environments.Always utilize 304 stainless steel or equivalent alloys for superior corrosion resistance, preventing premature material degradation and system contamination.
Improper edge preparation before welding.Ensure edges are clean, free of mill scale, and properly beveled for full penetration welds to maintain the material's integrity and structural strength.

Common Applications

  • Custom lubrication reservoir fabrication
  • Wear strips and guides in high-friction machinery
  • Components for automated lubrication delivery systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges and potential lacerations.
  • Ensure compatibility of welding consumables and procedures for 304 stainless steel to maintain corrosion resistance.
