Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which will corrode and compromise integrity.Always use 316 stainless steel or equivalent corrosion-resistant fasteners for all connections.
Improper cleaning leading to surface contamination and potential galvanic corrosion.Thoroughly clean all surfaces with appropriate degreasers and non-abrasive materials before and after fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • Pressure Vessel Components
  • Corrosive Fluid Handling Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Machining may generate heat, ensure adequate cooling to prevent material degradation.
  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or denting the surface, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
