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 behind contaminants that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly clean the fabricated components with a non-chlorinated solvent and passivate the surface if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Custom Protective Shipping Cradles
  • Corrosion-Resistant Packaging Enclosures
  • Industrial Dunnage and Fixturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure compatibility with other materials in the application to prevent galvanic corrosion.
