Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use fasteners made from the same grade of stainless steel (316) or other compatible materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Employing abrasive cutting methods that can compromise the passive oxide layer.Utilize abrasive cutting methods that minimize heat generation and avoid creating areas susceptible to corrosion. Post-cut finishing should include passivation.

Common Applications

  • Corrosion-resistant barriers and enclosures
  • Marine safety equipment components
  • Chemical processing plant safety structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when performing cutting or grinding operations.
