Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting methods that introduce excessive heat, potentially altering the stainless steel's temper and corrosion resistance.Employ precision cutting techniques such as waterjet or laser cutting, or if thermal cutting is necessary, utilize low heat input methods and follow proper post-cut annealing procedures if specified by application.
Failing to properly clean and passivate the stainless steel after fabrication, leaving residual contaminants that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean all fabricated parts with a non-chlorinated detergent and water. Subsequently, perform a nitric acid passivation treatment according to industry standards (e.g., ASTM A967) to restore the protective chromium oxide layer.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic actuator housings
  • Cylinder components
  • Valve bodies and manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during cutting and grinding operations to prevent inhalation of metal particulates.
