Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive lubricating environments.Utilize 304 stainless steel for its inherent corrosion resistance, preventing premature degradation and contamination of the lubricant.
Improperly handling sharp edges after cutting.Always deburr and smooth cut edges to prevent damage to seals and personnel during installation and operation.

Common Applications

  • Bearing housing fabrication
  • Specialized gear manufacturing for lubrication systems
  • Wear plates and guides in high-friction environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury from sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn during fabrication and installation.
