Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always select 316 stainless steel for its superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in harsh chemical or marine settings.
Improper welding techniques leading to sensitization.Employ low-heat input welding and post-weld annealing if necessary to maintain the corrosion resistance of the Heat Affected Zone.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Plates
  • Boiler and Furnace Components
  • Cryogenic Vessel Linings
  • Marine Heating Systems
  • Industrial Cooling Towers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges during cutting and fabrication.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when performing fabrication processes such as cutting, grinding, or welding.
