Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower-grade stainless steel for corrosive hydraulic applications.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel, or equivalent, for its enhanced molybdenum content, which significantly improves corrosion resistance.
Inadequate cleaning and passivation after fabrication.Thoroughly clean and passivate the fabricated component to remove any residual contaminants and to form a passive oxide layer, crucial for long-term corrosion protection.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • Pressure Vessel Construction
  • Corrosion-Resistant Fluid Handling Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging the surface, which can compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure all fabrication processes maintain the material's inherent properties; improper heat treatment can degrade performance.
