Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel in highly corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving strong acids, chlorides, or saline exposure to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Inadequate surface preparation before fabrication.Ensure the sheet is free from grease, oils, and metal particles to prevent contamination and maintain the material's inherent corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces and components
  • Gears and sprockets in wet or chemical environments
  • Shafts and bushings for lubricated systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid inhaling fumes.
