Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting methods that introduce excessive heat and alter material properties.Employ cutting techniques like waterjet or laser cutting with appropriate cooling to maintain the metallurgical integrity of the 316 stainless steel.
Inadequate post-fabrication cleaning, leaving residual contaminants that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean all fabricated surfaces using non-abrasive methods and compatible cleaning agents to remove all particulate matter and passivation oxides.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • High-temperature heat exchangers
  • Corrosive fluid containment systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures and post-weld heat treatment, if required, to maintain corrosion resistance.
