Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Utilize 316 stainless steel fasteners or compatible alloys to maintain material integrity and prevent premature failure.
Improper welding procedures leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ appropriate welding techniques and filler materials for 316 stainless steel, such as TIG or MIG welding with 316L filler, and ensure proper heat treatment if required.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Valve Manifolds
  • Cylinder Housings
  • Pneumatic Control Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always handle with care to avoid scratches or damage that could compromise the passive layer.
  • Ensure compatibility with other materials in the pneumatic system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
