Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for lubrication components in corrosive environments.Always select materials like 304 stainless steel that offer inherent corrosion resistance to prevent premature failure.
Insufficient cleaning of the sheet prior to fabrication.Ensure the surface is free of oils, dirt, and debris to prevent welding defects and ensure proper adhesion of any coatings or sealants.

Common Applications

  • Lubrication system components
  • Corrosion-resistant containment trays
  • Wear surfaces in high-humidity environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
