Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible welding procedures for 316 stainless steel.Employ low-carbon filler metals or stabilized grades, and ensure proper heat input management to prevent sensitization and maintain corrosion resistance.
Neglecting to clean the material thoroughly after fabrication.Thoroughly clean all fabricated parts with non-chlorinated cleaning agents to remove any contaminants that could initiate corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Custom chute and hopper fabrication
  • Conveyor system components
  • Corrosion-resistant structural supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May require specialized tooling for cutting and shaping due to material hardness.
  • Avoid contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
