Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools during fabrication, leading to cross-contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Utilize dedicated stainless steel tooling and equipment for all cutting, grinding, and machining operations.
Insufficient post-fabrication cleaning, leaving behind residues that can initiate corrosion.Implement a rigorous cleaning protocol, including passivation, after all fabrication steps are completed.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel components
  • Heat exchanger plates
  • High-temperature ducting
  • Marine exhaust systems
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when performing fabrication operations such as welding or grinding.
