Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides, acids, or high salinity.
Improper cleaning after fabrication, leading to surface contamination.Thoroughly clean all surfaces with a passivation solution after welding and fabrication to remove any embedded iron particles.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing to prolonged contact with strong oxidizing acids beyond its rated resistance.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent surface scratching or contamination, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
