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 utilize fasteners made from 300-series stainless steel (e.g., 18-8 or 316) to maintain the corrosion resistance of the assembly.
Exposing the material to chlorides or highly acidic environments for prolonged periods, which can initiate pitting corrosion.Regular cleaning with mild detergents and water is recommended, especially in marine or chemical processing environments, to remove corrosive contaminants.

Common Applications
