Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel not suited for the specific lubricant or corrosive environment.Always verify material compatibility with the intended lubricant and operating conditions; 316 stainless steel is recommended for its superior corrosion resistance.
Improperly handling the sheet, leading to scratches or surface damage that can impede lubricating performance.Handle the sheet with care, using clean, non-abrasive tools and surfaces to maintain the integrity of the finish.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant containment and guiding surfaces
  • Components in chemical processing equipment
  • Marine and offshore applications with lubricant exposure

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with strong oxidizing acids, which can compromise the passivation layer.
  • Ensure proper lubrication protocols are followed to prevent premature wear, even with a low-friction material.
