Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Always use compatible fasteners such as stainless steel (300 series) or anodized aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Applying excessive force during installation, leading to sheet deformation.Tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly. Use torque wrenches to ensure proper tension is applied without overstressing the material.

Common Applications

  • Filtration media support structures
  • Industrial strainers and screens
  • Custom fabrication for chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges during cutting or machining.
