Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel.Always use 316 stainless steel or compatible high-alloy fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain material integrity.
Inadequate cleaning before welding.Thoroughly degrease and remove any oxide scale or contaminants from the weld area before proceeding with TIG or MIG welding to ensure a strong, corrosion-resistant joint.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid using abrasive pads that contain iron or other ferrous materials during cleaning, as this can lead to surface contamination and rust.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or welding this material.
