Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel (e.g., 304) in corrosive lubrication environments.Specify 316 stainless steel for its enhanced resistance to chloride ions and acidic media, preventing premature corrosion and system failure.
Improper handling leading to surface contamination or damage.Handle with clean gloves and avoid contact with carbon steel or other contaminants that could initiate galvanic corrosion. Store in a dry, protected area.

Common Applications

  • Components for high-pressure lubrication pumps
  • Bearings and bushings in corrosive environments
  • Wear plates and guides in food processing machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating this material.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during any cutting or welding operations to avoid exposure to fumes.
