Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or forming, leading to contamination and potential corrosion initiation.Always use dedicated tools made of stainless steel or carbide to avoid cross-contamination.
Inadequate cleaning after fabrication, leaving residues that can compromise corrosion resistance.Thoroughly degrease and passivate the fabricated component after all operations are complete.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Chemical processing equipment lining
  • High-temperature ducting
  • Fluid handling manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid at elevated temperatures, as this can degrade the material.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when welding or cutting to avoid exposure to fumes and particulate matter.
