Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking.Always specify and utilize 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides or elevated temperatures.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to premature corrosion.Thoroughly clean all surfaces prior to welding, forming, or assembly to remove oils, dirt, and any potential corrosive agents.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Fabrication
  • Industrial HVAC Ductwork
  • Condenser and Evaporator Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid use in highly acidic environments without specific material compatibility testing.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed to maintain the corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone.
