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 or aggressive chemicals to prevent premature corrosion.
Improper cutting techniques that can introduce stress or damage the material.Utilize sharp, appropriate cutting tools (e.g., laser, waterjet, or specialized shears) designed for thin stainless steel to maintain material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Customized bearing cages in lubrication systems
  • Shims and spacers in fluid transfer components
  • Protective liners for corrosive fluid pathways
