Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate cutting tools leading to edge deformation.Employ carbide-tipped or diamond-coated cutting tools designed for stainless steel to maintain clean, precise edges.
Neglecting post-weld cleaning, risking surface contamination and corrosion.Thoroughly clean welded areas with a passivation treatment to restore the protective oxide layer and prevent intergranular corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Pressure Vessels and Accumulators
  • Fluid Transfer and Storage Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury from sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid exposure to fumes.
