Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive environments.Always select 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to saltwater, chemicals, or high humidity to prevent premature degradation and system failure.
Inadequate material preparation before fabrication.Thoroughly clean the stainless steel sheet to remove any oils, dirt, or metal particles that could interfere with welding or forming processes and compromise the passivation layer.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder construction
  • Valve bodies and manifolds
  • Housings for pneumatic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with highly oxidizing acids, as even 316 stainless steel has limitations.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed to maintain the corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone.
