Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that are not compatible with 316 stainless steel, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use fasteners made of 316 stainless steel or other highly corrosion-resistant alloys compatible with the base material.
Improper handling causing scratches or gouges that can initiate stress corrosion cracking in aggressive environments.Handle with care, using non-marring tools and protective coverings where necessary, especially in corrosive service conditions.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Corrosion-resistant piping systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to excessive heat without proper stress relief, which can alter material properties.
  • Ensure compatibility with all chemicals and environments to prevent premature corrosion.
