Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners that will corrode and compromise the integrity of the stainless steel assembly.Always utilize 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to maintain corrosion resistance and prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-torquing fasteners, which can lead to deformation of the stock sheet or damage to the threads.Refer to fastener manufacturer specifications for recommended torque values and use a calibrated torque wrench for precise application.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated lifting points and brackets
  • Reinforcement plates for heavy-duty winches and hoists
  • Submarine and offshore equipment structural components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
