Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade stainless steel that will corrode in the intended environment.Always verify the material grade meets or exceeds the corrosive demands of the application; 316 stainless steel is specified for its enhanced resistance.
Improper surface preparation leading to reduced lubricity or premature wear.Thoroughly clean and degrease all surfaces that will come into contact with the lubricant and the stock sheet to ensure optimal performance.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces in high-corrosion environments
  • Sealing components in chemical processing
  • Lubricant reservoirs and conduits

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • While highly corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to certain aggressive chemicals may still lead to degradation. Consult chemical compatibility charts.
  • Ensure proper handling to avoid surface damage that could compromise lubricity and corrosion resistance.
