Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel or other compatible high-grade stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can deform the sheet or compromise its structural integrity.Apply appropriate torque to fasteners, ensuring they are snug but not excessively tight, to maintain the sheet's flatness and strength.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty structural bracing in corrosive environments
  • Custom mounting plates for industrial equipment
  • Support structures in marine and offshore installations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during cutting and installation.
