Errors Faced by Inexperienced Fabricators

The qualities that make stainless steel an attractive and useful metal also make it a challenge for industrial steel fabrication. Here is a short list of your risks when you choose a fabricator who isn’t fully qualified to work with stainless steel:

  • Iron Contamination: Careless shop management practices can lead to contact with carbon steel tools or dust, causing iron particles to embed in the stainless steel and compromising its corrosion resistance, potentially resulting in rust.
  • Chloride Contamination: Salts and chlorides can break down the stainless steel’s protective chromium oxide layer through a chemical reaction, leading to pitting corrosion.
  • Organic Contaminants: Another source of potential corrosion is the presence of organic-based adhesives, lubricants, or cleaning chemicals, which can leave residues that attract dirt and hinder passivation.
  • Scratches or Gouges: When stainless steel is damaged by fabricator error, crevices are created where contaminants can be trapped, allowing them to accelerate corrosion.
  • Improper Cleaning: Without proper quality control measures, residual mill scale, welding slag, or cleaning chemicals can affect the final finish and potentially induce corrosion.
  • Heat Tinting and Scale: Mistakes in welding might include high temperatures during the process, which can oxidize the surface and affect the stainless steel’s aesthetics or compromise its corrosion resistance.
  • Weld Decay: Intense heat from welding can cause chromium depletion near the weld, making stainless steel more susceptible to corrosion.
  • Porosity and Cracks: Improper welding techniques or inadequate cleaning can lead to gas bubbles in welds, which will weaken them.
  • Distortion: The high thermal expansion of stainless steel can cause warping and bending during welding or sheet metal bending. Welders must be experienced in techniques and jigs to combat this.
  • Choosing the Wrong Grade: Different stainless steel grades are only suitable for certain applications. Not knowing the correct grade for your job can result in using the incorrect grade and lead to problems such as stress cracking.
  • Improper Handling: Wreckless handling or dropping can damage the metal, affecting its finish and potentially jeopardizing its structural integrity.

While it’s important to give less-experienced metalworkers the chance to prove their ability to fabricate stainless steel, not every business can risk the errors that are common to this metal. A lot can go wrong with stainless steel manufacturing. An experienced team of industrial metal fabrication professionals can give you the results you need: A finished product that looks great, performs as it should, and lasts for many years.
