Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel in highly corrosive environments.Always specify 316 grade stainless steel for applications exposed to salt water, chemicals, or other aggressive media.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting.Thoroughly deburr and smooth all cut edges to prevent material fatigue initiation and ensure safe handling.

Common Applications

  • Fabrication of custom lifting lugs and hardware
  • Reinforcement plates for heavy machinery
  • Subsea equipment components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid cuts from edges.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed for 316 stainless steel to maintain corrosion resistance.
