Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel that is susceptible to corrosion in the intended environment.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to corrosive media, especially chlorides.
Improper edge finishing after cutting, leading to stress concentrations.Thoroughly deburr and radius all cut edges to mitigate potential failure points.

Common Applications

  • Components for industrial lubrication systems
  • Pumps and valves in corrosive environments
  • Bearing housings and sliding surfaces in food processing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling to avoid scratching, which can compromise surface integrity.
  • When welding, use appropriate techniques and filler materials to maintain corrosion resistance.
