Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, which can cause contamination and reduce corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools, ensuring they are clean and free from carbon steel residue.
Neglecting proper deburring of cut edges, leading to stress risers and potential premature failure.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file or deburring tool to create a smooth, uniform transition.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic control panel fabrication
  • Custom pneumatic manifold construction
  • Corrosion-resistant pneumatic enclosure fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and fabricating this material.
