Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that will corrode the 316 stainless steel.Always use fasteners made of 316 stainless steel or a material with equivalent or superior corrosion resistance.
Inadequate load distribution leading to localized stress points.Ensure the load is evenly distributed across the stock sheet by using sufficient and correctly spaced mounting points.

Common Applications

  • Custom lifting lugs and hardware
  • Reinforcement plates for heavy machinery
  • Structural components in marine environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always verify load-bearing capacity against the specific application requirements.
  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals that may cause galvanic corrosion; use appropriate isolation if necessary.
