Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard stainless steel in highly corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for its superior molybdenum content, which enhances resistance to chlorides and acids in pneumatic systems.
Inadequate deburring after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to prevent material fatigue initiation and potential damage to sealing surfaces within pneumatic components.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • High-pressure pneumatic cylinder components
  • Corrosion-resistant pneumatic enclosure panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury and damage to the sheet surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when cutting or welding.
