Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can embed iron particles and initiate corrosion.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools or ensure thorough cleaning after using general-purpose tools.
Insufficient heat input during welding leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Follow AWS D1.6 or equivalent welding codes for 316 stainless steel, controlling heat input and interpass temperatures.

Common Applications

  • Heat exchanger fabrication
  • Industrial furnace components
  • Marine HVAC systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating metal sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid inhalation of fumes.
