Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that may cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Always use fasteners made of compatible materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum fasteners of the same alloy group, to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress concentrations and potential deformation.Apply fasteners with appropriate torque specifications, utilizing torque wrenches to ensure consistent and controlled tightening.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • Thermal management systems
  • Cryogenic equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
