Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 304 stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always use corrosion-resistant fasteners, such as 304 or 316 stainless steel, to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain system integrity.
Introducing contaminants during fabrication that can lead to pitting corrosion.Maintain a clean work area and use dedicated tools for stainless steel to avoid cross-contamination with carbon steel or other materials.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • High-temperature ductwork and exhaust systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication processes involving heat or cutting.
