Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always use 316 stainless steel fasteners or equivalent corrosion-resistant hardware.
Improper cleaning causing surface contamination and reducing corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean the sheet with a mild detergent and water, followed by a thorough rinse and drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of hoppers and chutes
  • Marine and offshore equipment components
  • Food processing machinery parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent scratches or gouges which can compromise corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or welding.
