Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can introduce contaminants or induce work hardening.Utilize carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, ensuring proper lubrication and coolant use.
Neglecting proper post-fabrication cleaning, leading to potential surface contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean all fabricated components with non-abrasive cleaners and deionized water after fabrication, followed by passivation if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic valve bodies
  • Cylinder end caps and barrels
  • High-pressure pneumatic fittings and manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and fabricating stainless steel.
  • Ensure all fabrication processes are performed in a clean environment to prevent contamination that could compromise the material's corrosion resistance.
