Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible welding consumables for 316 stainless steel, leading to reduced corrosion resistance at the weld joint.Utilize only welding electrodes and filler metals specifically designed for 316 stainless steel, such as E316/ER316, to maintain the material's integrity.
Improper handling causing surface contamination or scratching, which can initiate corrosion points.Handle the sheet with clean, non-marring tools and store it in a dry environment, preferably with protective film, to prevent contamination.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated lifting lugs for heavy machinery
  • Structural reinforcement plates in corrosive environments
  • Specialized pulling fixtures for marine or offshore operations
