Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools that can induce contamination and reduce corrosion resistance.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain a clean working environment to prevent ferrous contamination.
Incorrectly selecting welding consumables for 316 stainless steel, leading to compromised joint integrity and corrosion resistance.Employ 316L or 309/310 series filler metals as recommended for 316 stainless steel to ensure proper metallurgical properties of the weld.

Common Applications
