Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 304 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners when attaching the sheet.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, leading to weld defects and reduced corrosion resistance.Ensure all surfaces to be welded are clean, free of grease, oil, and any surface contaminants. Use appropriate grinding techniques and argon shielding gas for optimal weld quality.

Common Applications

  • Custom chute and hopper fabrication
  • Wear plate and protective panel construction
  • Structural components for material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection during handling and installation.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic or chloride-rich environments, as even 304 stainless steel can be susceptible to pitting corrosion in such conditions.
