Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 304 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners for all connections.
Aggressive grinding or welding that alters the surface passivation layer.Employ gentle grinding techniques and ensure proper post-weld passivation to maintain maximum corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Fabrication
  • Industrial Furnace Linings
  • HVAC Ductwork Systems
  • Cryogenic Vessel Components
  • High-Temperature Process Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting, grinding, or welding to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
