Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion when in contact with stainless steel.Always use 304 or 316 grade stainless steel fasteners to maintain corrosion resistance and prevent premature failure.
Exposing the finished product to prolonged contact with chlorides or strong acids without proper cleaning, which can initiate pitting corrosion.Implement a regular cleaning schedule using mild detergents and water to remove corrosive contaminants and maintain the passive oxide layer.

Common Applications
