Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which will corrode and compromise structural integrity.Always use 316 stainless steel fasteners or compatible corrosion-resistant hardware.
Improper welding techniques leading to reduced corrosion resistance at the weld zone.Employ TIG welding with appropriate filler material and ensure post-weld cleaning and passivation for optimal performance.

Common Applications
