Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use compatible stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 316 grade) to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Insufficient material support during machining, leading to deformation.Employ appropriate workholding and fixturing techniques to maintain structural integrity during fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Bearings and bushings in corrosive environments
  • Pump components for chemical processing
  • Seals and gaskets for high-pressure lubrication systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Extended exposure to certain chloride solutions at elevated temperatures may degrade passivation.
  • Proper welding procedures are required to maintain the corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone.
