Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel in highly corrosive environments.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel for applications involving high salt content, acids, or extreme chemical exposure to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Improper welding techniques leading to sensitization.Employ low-heat input welding techniques and post-weld cleaning procedures to maintain the corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated pipe fittings and flanges
  • Tank and vessel construction for chemical storage
  • Hygiene-critical surfaces in food processing or medical facilities

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always adhere to appropriate metal cutting and grinding safety protocols, including eye and respiratory protection.
  • Ensure compatibility with other materials in the assembly to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in marine or chemical environments.
