Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in lubricating applications exposed to chemicals or moisture.
Inadequate surface preparation before assembly.Thoroughly clean all surfaces of the 316 stainless steel sheet before any cutting, bending, or joining to prevent contamination and maintain passivation.

Common Applications

  • Custom bearing housings for high-load machinery.
  • Splash guards and containment for industrial lubricators.
  • Components within high-pressure lubrication delivery systems.

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong acids and alkaline solutions, which can compromise stainless steel integrity.
  • Ensure proper handling to prevent scratching or gouging that could initiate localized corrosion.
