Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which will corrode and contaminate the 316 stainless steel.Always use 316 stainless steel or other compatible high-grade corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Inadequate cleaning after fabrication, leaving residual welding flux or grinding dust that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean the fabricated components with a non-abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaning agent and rinse with deionized water.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during welding and cutting operations due to potential fume generation.
