Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize 316 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Aggressive grinding or polishing that can alter the passive layer and reduce corrosion resistance.Employ finishing techniques that maintain the integrity of the stainless steel surface, avoiding excessive heat or abrasive action.

Common Applications

  • Bearing housing components
  • Lubricant containment systems
  • Shaft seals and wear plates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling to avoid scratching, which can compromise surface integrity and corrosion resistance.
  • Verify compatibility with specific lubricants and operating temperatures to maintain optimal performance.
