Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners in contact with 316 stainless steel.Utilize 316 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Inadequate deburring after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all edges to prevent metal shavings from entering and contaminating pneumatic systems.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic actuator housings
  • Corrosion-resistant control panel fabrication
  • Structural supports for pneumatic equipment in wash-down environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching the passivation layer, which compromises corrosion resistance.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or welding 316 stainless steel.
