Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding consumables for 304 stainless steel, leading to reduced corrosion resistance at the weld.Employ filler metals specifically designed for 304 stainless steel, such as ER308L or E308L, to maintain the material's inherent protective properties.
Improper handling leading to contamination of the pipe surface, compromising its corrosion resistance.Handle with clean gloves and tools, avoiding contact with carbon steel or other potentially contaminating materials. Store in a clean, dry environment.
