Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners that can corrode and stain the stainless steel.Always utilize 316-grade stainless steel fasteners to maintain corrosion resistance and prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper cutting techniques that can lead to work hardening and reduced corrosion resistance at the cut edge.Employ appropriate cutting tools (e.g., plasma cutter, waterjet) and techniques that minimize heat input and distortion.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated chutes and hoppers
  • Wear plates and liners for conveyors
  • Support structures for heavy equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals that can cause galvanic corrosion.
  • Handle with care to prevent surface scratching, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
