Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible cutting tools that induce excessive heat and alter material properties.Employ sharp, specialized cutting tools designed for stainless steel and maintain adequate cooling to prevent heat-induced sensitization.
Inadequate cleaning of the sheet surface prior to installation, leading to potential contamination or stress corrosion cracking.Thoroughly degrease and clean the sheet with a non-chlorinated solvent and ensure a pristine surface finish before assembly.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Pressure Vessel Linings
  • Corrosive Fluid Handling Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain highly acidic or high-concentration chloride solutions, which can still induce pitting corrosion.
  • Ensure proper fabrication techniques are employed to avoid sensitization of the material, which can reduce corrosion resistance.
