Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides, acids, or saltwater to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Inadequate sub-surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or structural compromise.Thoroughly clean and prepare the mounting surface to ensure optimal contact and load-bearing capacity for the stainless steel sheet.
