Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel for corrosive environments.Always confirm the material is 316 stainless steel, especially when exposed to chlorides or acidic substances.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning.Thoroughly clean all welds to remove heat tint and contaminants that can compromise the passive oxide layer and lead to corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of hoppers and chutes
  • Conveyor system components
  • Structural supports in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges and potential injury.
  • Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn during fabrication and installation.
