Tools such as grinding wheels & wire brushes previously used on carbon steel are not used on stainless steel or nickel alloys.


Grinding discs, abrasive discs & belts are made of resin-bonded alumina, silicon carbide or zirconium carbide. (No Sulphurized items)



All material removal & cleaning tools are marked to identify that they are to be used on austenitic & nickel alloy materials only.Marking is visible while a tool is in use. (Purple color code)


Austenitic & nickel alloy material fabrication areas are separated from CS areas (upwind to prevent cross contamination).


Suitable methods prevent cross contamination by CS shavings, grinding dust, & zinc dust from coating operations as follows: A) Enclosure, separation & location of work areas is adequate B) Engineering controls & ventillation assure cleanliness & safety


Where tape is used for back purging, the tape uses an adhesive with a water soluble chloride content not exceeding 50 ppm.


Pressure-sensitive & adhesive-backed tapes removed (along with any residual adhesive) utilize a suitable solvent or abrasive.


Cutting fluids or oils are low halogen, low sulphur & are completely removed from all surfaces prior to any welding or forming.


Shipping of materials utilizes new packing materials & shipping protectors such as PVC caps, plugs, & new adhesive tapes. No harmful substances are utilized in shipping.


Certified chloride-free marking or color coding has a water soluble chloride content below 50 ppm (measured after drying).
