Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to material work hardening and potential cracking.Employ carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, maintaining proper speed and feed rates.
Inadequate post-welding cleaning, resulting in surface contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean all weld areas and adjacent surfaces using non-abrasive materials and appropriate degreasers, followed by passivation if required.

Common Applications

  • Pressure Vessel Fabrication
  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • High-Temperature Process Piping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always handle with appropriate lifting equipment due to significant weight.
  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn during handling and machining.
