Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard stainless steel instead of 316 for corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides, acids, or saltwater to prevent premature corrosion.
Not deburring edges after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to remove stress concentrations and prevent potential cracks or premature failure.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Shaft components
  • Sealing elements

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific lubricants and operating conditions.
