Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel.Always use 316 stainless steel or equivalent corrosion-resistant fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper cleaning after fabrication, leaving residues.Thoroughly clean all fabricated parts with non-abrasive cleaning agents and rinse with deionized water to maintain the passive oxide layer.

Common Applications

  • Components for high-pressure lubrication systems
  • Shaft sleeves and bearings in corrosive environments
  • Sealing surfaces in pumps and valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can scratch the surface and compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed to maintain the material's inherent corrosion resistance.
