Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 304 stainless steel components.Always use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term joint integrity.
Improper welding techniques leading to carbide precipitation.Employ low-heat input welding methods and post-weld annealing if necessary to maintain the corrosion resistance of the 304 stainless steel.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic cylinder bodies
  • Valve component fabrication
  • Pressure vessel liners

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding stainless steel to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
