Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel components.Always use compatible stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 316 grade) to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Improper handling leading to surface scratches or contamination.Handle with clean gloves and store in a manner that prevents scratching or contact with other materials that could compromise the stainless steel surface.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic valve bodies and manifolds
  • Cylinder components and enclosures
  • Corrosion-resistant pneumatic fittings and adapters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with all other materials in the pneumatic system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Machining and fabrication processes may generate heat; consider proper cooling to maintain material properties.
