Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with stainless steel.Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials, such as 304 or 316 stainless steel, or appropriately rated alloys.
Insufficient surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or premature failure.Thoroughly degrease and clean the mounting surfaces before installation to ensure optimal bonding.

Common Applications

  • Wear plates for conveyor systems
  • Lubrication guides and channels
  • Low-friction bearing surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with chloride-rich environments which may lead to pitting corrosion.
  • Handle with care to prevent scratching or damaging the surface, which can compromise its lubricating properties.
