Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel or other compatible, high-grade fasteners to prevent bimetallic corrosion.
Insufficient cleaning after welding, leaving behind slag or heat tint that can compromise corrosion resistance.Thoroughly remove all welding residues and consider passivation of the welded area to restore optimal corrosion performance.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and components
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage industry fabrication
