Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or incompatible fasteners.Always select fasteners that meet or exceed the load-bearing requirements of the application and are compatible with 316 stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Inadequate surface preparation before attachment.Thoroughly clean the mounting surfaces to remove dirt, grease, and any potential corrosives that could compromise the integrity of the joint.

Common Applications

  • Fabrication of custom lifting eyes and lugs
  • Reinforcement plates for structural connections in marine environments
  • Component bases for heavy-duty winch and hoist systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper material handling to avoid scratching or denting the polished surface.
  • Verify load ratings and environmental compatibility before final application design.
