Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for lubricant-contacting components.Always utilize corrosion-resistant materials like 304 stainless steel to prevent rust and contamination of lubricating fluids.
Inadequate edge finishing after cutting, leading to potential system damage.Thoroughly deburr and smooth all cut edges to prevent particulate generation and potential damage to seals or moving parts within the lubrication system.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty industrial lubrication systems
  • Corrosive fluid handling components
  • Bearing and seal housing fabrication
  • Custom pump and valve components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel sheet metal.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid exposure to fumes.
