Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel for marine or high-chloride applications to ensure longevity and prevent premature failure.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or fabrication.Thoroughly degrease and remove any mill scale or surface imperfections to ensure proper weld integrity and prevent stress risers.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated lifting points and eyes
  • Structural components for offshore platforms
  • Reinforcement plates for heavy machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always consult relevant industry standards and safety regulations for pulling and lifting applications.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures and filler materials are used for 316 stainless steel to maintain corrosion resistance.
