Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel not suitable for corrosive environments.Always specify and verify 304 stainless steel for its proven corrosion resistance in lubricating applications.
Improper cutting or finishing leading to burrs or sharp edges that can damage lubrication pathways.Employ precision cutting tools and deburr all edges thoroughly after fabrication to maintain system integrity.

Common Applications

  • Lubricating system component fabrication
  • Bearing and bushing supports
  • Fluid containment and transfer channels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury from sharp edges.
  • Ensure compatibility of fabrication processes (e.g., welding) with the 304 stainless steel grade to maintain corrosion resistance.
