Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a thinner gauge for load-bearing applications.Always verify the required thickness based on the specific load and stress calculations for your application.
Exposing to highly corrosive environments without proper passivation.While 304 offers good corrosion resistance, consider passivation for extreme chemical exposure to maintain surface integrity.

Common Applications

  • Precision fabrication of jigs and fixtures
  • Component for metrology and inspection gauges
  • Base material for custom industrial tooling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent personal injury due to sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper lifting techniques are employed due to the weight of the material.
