Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel in high-chloride environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to seawater, de-icing salts, or other aggressive chloride solutions.
Improper cutting techniques leading to edge damage or work hardening.Utilize sharp, appropriate cutting tools and maintain consistent feed rates to minimize heat buildup and preserve material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Custom manifold fabrication
  • Heavy-duty drainage system components
  • Corrosion-resistant protective barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating metal sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting, welding, or grinding operations to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
