Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to maintain the material's corrosion resistance.
Improper cleaning after fabrication, leaving residual welding flux or grinding dust.Thoroughly clean the fabricated component with a suitable passivation treatment to remove contaminants and restore the passive oxide layer.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel components
  • Heat exchanger plates
  • Manifold fabrication
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • High-temperature ducting

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with chlorides, particularly at elevated temperatures, as pitting corrosion can occur.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when welding or cutting to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
