Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel susceptible to corrosion.Always specify and utilize 304 stainless steel for its proven corrosion resistance in lubricating applications.
Improper cleaning of the sheet before installation, leading to premature degradation.Thoroughly clean the sheet with non-abrasive, approved solvents to remove any manufacturing residues or contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Bearing housing components
  • Lubricant reservoirs and channels
  • Sealing surfaces in high-friction environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic or chloride-rich environments without proper passivation.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent surface scratching and contamination.
