Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for stainless steel, leading to edge deformation or work hardening.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools with appropriate coolant for stainless steel to maintain material properties.
Neglecting to deburr edges after cutting, which can create sharp hazards and compromise sealing surfaces.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges with a file or deburring tool to achieve smooth, safe surfaces and ensure dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoirs and sumps
  • Guide rails and wear strips in machinery
  • Protective covers for lubrication components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and cutting sheet metal.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and fabrication processes to avoid inhalation of fumes.
