Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel susceptible to corrosion from specific lubricants.Always verify the compatibility of 304 stainless steel with the intended lubricating fluid to prevent premature degradation and system failure.
Inadequate edge finishing leading to potential material fatigue or lubricant leakage.Ensure all cut edges are properly deburred and smoothed to maintain material integrity and prevent sharp points that could compromise sealing.

Common Applications

  • Custom bearing housings in high-wear machinery
  • Component fabrication for automated lubrication systems
  • Splash guards and deflectors in industrial lubrication setups

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate safety gear to prevent cuts from sharp edges.
  • Verify chemical compatibility with specific lubricants before installation to avoid corrosion.
