Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overheating during welding, leading to reduced mechanical properties in the heat-affected zone.Employ proper welding techniques, such as TIG or MIG welding, with appropriate filler metals and pre/post-weld heat treatments to maintain alloy strength.
Using incorrect cutting speeds or feeds, resulting in tool wear or poor cut quality.Consult material datasheets for recommended cutting parameters based on tool type and desired finish; adjust speeds and feeds accordingly.
