Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that will corrode and compromise structural integrity.Always use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners compatible with the stock sheet for optimal corrosion resistance.
Improper welding techniques leading to reduced material strength or localized corrosion.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials and shielding gases for 304 stainless steel to maintain its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated lifting points and eye bolts
  • Reinforcement plates for heavy machinery and equipment
  • Structural components in corrosive marine environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection during handling and fabrication.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting, grinding, or welding operations on stainless steel.
