Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Employ 316 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners to maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Improper welding techniques leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Utilize TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials and maintain interpass temperatures to prevent sensitization; post-weld cleaning and passivation are recommended.

Common Applications

  • Custom electrical enclosures and junction boxes
  • Industrial and marine lighting fixture components
  • Protective shielding and paneling in corrosive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when handling and fabricating stainless steel.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding stainless steel to avoid inhalation of fumes.
