Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel or compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Improper welding techniques that can compromise the passive layer.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials and post-weld cleaning/passivation.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • Lighting Fixture Mounts and Brackets
  • Outdoor Control Panels and Junction Boxes
