Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel.Always use compatible stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 316 grade) to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Inadequate cleaning after fabrication.Thoroughly degrease and pickle the fabricated parts to remove any contaminants, heat tint, or embedded iron particles that can lead to premature corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective enclosures for sensitive equipment
  • Durable shipping containers for corrosive materials
  • Reinforcement panels for high-impact packaging

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid exposure to hazardous fumes.
