Stainless Steel Fabrication Tips

  • Minimize Traps and Crevices: Design to reduce areas that may trap deposits, such as sealing any overlapping plates.

  • Welding Protocols: Choose welding procedures that are best for the specific steel grade.

  • Accessible Weld Design: Ensure the design allows easy access for welding to create the best weld shape, reducing heat tint buildup.

  • Smooth, Full Penetration Welds: Aim for smooth, full-penetration welds. For instance, use a return edge on plates for a smooth corner, allowing easy welding and cleaning.
