Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cleaning of the stainless steel surface post-installation.Thoroughly clean the stainless steel with a non-abrasive cleaner and water to remove any residual contaminants or polishing compounds.
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use fasteners made of 316 stainless steel or a compatible corrosion-resistant alloy to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Corrosion-resistant tank fabrication
  • Chemical processing equipment lining
  • Hygiene-critical sanitary surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can scratch the surface and compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when welding or cutting to prevent exposure to fumes.
