Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Utilize 316 stainless steel fasteners or other compatible corrosion-resistant hardware.
Improper cleaning after welding, leaving heat tint that can compromise corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean and, if necessary, passivate the welded areas to restore optimal corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective packaging for sensitive equipment
  • Corrosion-resistant liners for shipping containers
  • Fabricated components for industrial material handling systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

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