Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to material deformation or damage.Employ plasma cutters, waterjet cutters, or abrasive saws specifically designed for stainless steel of this thickness.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding or high-temperature applications.Incorporate expansion joints or select appropriate welding procedures to manage heat-affected zones.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of machine guards and enclosures
