Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize fasteners made from the same or a compatible grade of stainless steel to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Insufficient allowance for thermal expansion in designs.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting points to accommodate the significant thermal expansion of stainless steel at elevated temperatures.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Fabrication
  • Industrial Oven Linings
  • High-Temperature Ductwork

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and fabrication.
