Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive environments.Always select 316 stainless steel for applications involving saltwater, chemicals, or high-humidity to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Improper selection of fasteners for stainless steel.Use fasteners made from compatible stainless steel grades or other corrosion-resistant materials to avoid galvanic corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Seals and guides in high-pressure lubrication systems
  • Wear plates in corrosive processing machinery
  • Submersible pump components in marine environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Ensure proper passivation after fabrication to maintain maximum corrosion resistance.
