Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides or aggressive chemicals.
Improper welding techniques that compromise passivation.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials and post-weld cleaning/passivation to restore maximum corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Chemical processing equipment cladding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling to prevent surface contamination which can initiate corrosion.
  • Always consult material safety data sheets (MSDS) for safe handling and fabrication procedures.
