Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use compatible 316 stainless steel or other appropriate corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Improper welding techniques that compromise the passivation layer and reduce corrosion resistance.Employ TIG or MIG welding with proper shielding gas and filler material for 316 stainless steel, followed by passivation if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Custom rigging hardware
  • Winch and hoist components
  • Marine structural reinforcement

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always adhere to relevant safety standards and load ratings for pulling and lifting applications.
  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals that can cause galvanic corrosion.
