Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for stainless steel or the specific load.Employ high-strength, corrosion-resistant fasteners (e.g., A4/316 stainless steel bolts) that are appropriately sized and torqued for the application's load requirements.
Neglecting to account for potential galvanic corrosion when in contact with dissimilar metals.Utilize dielectric barriers or ensure all contacting metals are of the same or compatible alloy to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in marine or chemically aggressive environments.

Common Applications
