Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tooling for cutting or fabrication.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting blades and tooling to prevent carbon steel contamination, which can lead to premature corrosion.
Inadequate edge finishing after cutting.Always deburr and smooth all cut edges to prevent the creation of micro-cavities that can trap contaminants or damage seals within the lubricating system.

Common Applications

  • Components for high-pressure lubrication systems
  • Bearings and bushings in corrosive environments
  • Sliding surfaces in chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratches or deformation, which can compromise surface integrity.
  • Ensure proper cleaning procedures are followed before and after fabrication to maintain material purity.
