Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for critical lubricating system parts exposed to moisture.Always utilize corrosion-resistant materials like 316 stainless steel for components in lubricating systems, especially in environments prone to rust and degradation.
Improper welding procedures leading to carbide precipitation and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ low-heat input welding techniques and consider post-weld annealing if required to maintain the integrity of the 316 stainless steel's corrosion resistance.

Common Applications

  • Bearings and Bushings
  • Gears and Sprockets
  • Shafts and Axles
  • Pump Components
  • Seals and Gaskets

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating stainless steel.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting, grinding, or welding operations.
