Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools that can cause galling or contamination.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure all equipment is thoroughly cleaned before use.
Allowing prolonged contact with dissimilar metals, leading to galvanic corrosion.Use isolation materials such as plastic or rubber washers and avoid direct metal-to-metal contact with less noble metals.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated tanks and vessels for corrosive liquids
  • Durable, sanitary work surfaces and splash guards
  • Heavy-duty shelving and framing in chemical processing areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or handling.
  • Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhalation of metal fumes during fabrication processes.
