Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade stainless steel or carbon steel in corrosive environments.Always specify 304 or 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or salt spray to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Over-tightening the cap screw, leading to thread stripping or material deformation.Consult engineering drawings or fastener torque charts for the correct torque specification for the M10 size and material to avoid overstressing the threads.

Common Applications

  • Structural assembly in food processing equipment
  • Marine hardware and boat building
  • Chemical processing plant maintenance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Do not exceed the recommended torque specification to avoid thread damage or fastener failure.
