Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel in corrosive environments, leading to premature degradation.Always select 316 stainless steel for applications involving acids, chlorides, or high salinity to ensure long-term corrosion resistance.
Improper welding techniques on stainless steel, causing sensitization and reducing corrosion resistance.Employ skilled welders experienced with 316 stainless steel and utilize appropriate filler materials and post-weld cleaning procedures.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated filter screens
  • Industrial strainers
  • Marine filtration components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel sheets, including cut-resistant gloves and eye protection.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and welding operations to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
