Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steelAlways use 316 stainless steel or other compatible high-grade fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper cleaning after fabrication, leaving contaminantsThoroughly clean the fabricated parts with a non-abrasive cleaner and water to remove any residues that could compromise corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Custom structural components for cranes and hoists
  • Reinforcing plates in marine lifting equipment
  • Fabricated parts for offshore oil and gas industry lifting gear

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and fabrication.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage the surface, compromising its corrosion resistance.
