Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel for corrosive or high-temperature applications.Always specify 316 stainless steel or equivalent for environments with high chloride content or elevated temperatures to prevent premature failure due to corrosion.
Improper welding procedures leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ controlled heat input and appropriate filler materials when welding 316 stainless steel to prevent carbide precipitation and maintain optimal corrosion performance.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Marine and offshore hardware
