Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel in highly corrosive or saline environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving chlorides or strong acids to prevent premature corrosion.
Ignoring surface finish requirements for lubricating applications.Ensure the fabricated component's surface finish meets lubrication system specifications to minimize friction and wear.

Common Applications

  • Custom lubricant containment systems
  • Corrosion-resistant machine guards for lubrication points
  • Components within chemical processing lubrication equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with non-compatible chemicals that may degrade stainless steel properties.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed to maintain corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone.
