Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel for corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving exposure to chlorides, acids, or seawater to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Inadequate clamping of the sheet during processing.Ensure the sheet is firmly and evenly clamped to prevent vibration, which can lead to inconsistent surface finish and potential damage to the sheet or tooling.

Common Applications

  • Precision surface finishing of critical components
  • Substrate for advanced abrasive media
  • Corrosion-resistant backing for polishing fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching the polished surface.
