Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel or other compatible, corrosion-resistant fasteners to prevent premature failure.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or bonding.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically clean all surfaces to be joined to ensure optimal weld penetration and adhesive bond strength.

Common Applications

  • Abrasive wear surfaces in material handling equipment
  • Corrosion-resistant backing for polishing pads
  • Custom wear plates in chemical processing machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent scratches or damage to the polished surface prior to application.
  • Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn during cutting and fabrication processes.
