Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Improper cleaning after fabrication, leaving residual contaminants that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean all surfaces with non-abrasive materials and appropriate solvents after fabrication and installation.

Common Applications

  • Custom chute fabrication
  • Hopper liners
  • Conveyor components
  • Marine hardware

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel.
