Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and potential work hardening.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools with abundant coolant and lubrication to manage heat dissipation and maintain edge integrity.
Improper welding techniques, such as insufficient penetration or post-weld cleaning, compromising the corrosion resistance of the weld zone.Adhere to AWS D1.6 standards for stainless steel welding, utilizing TIG or MIG processes with appropriate filler metals and ensuring thorough post-weld passivation and cleaning.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • High-temperature heat exchangers
  • Corrosive fluid handling components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection during fabrication.
  • Carefully consider the service environment and potential for crevice corrosion, especially in stagnant or low-flow conditions.
