Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Inadequate cleaning after welding, leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean weld areas immediately after welding to remove heat tint and contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Corrosion-resistant safety barriers
  • Machine guards in corrosive atmospheres
  • Marine and offshore structural components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is used during cutting and handling operations.
  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
