| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to contamination and potential corrosion. | Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain strict cleanliness to prevent galvanic corrosion. |
| Improper forming techniques that induce excessive stress or compromise material thickness. | Employ controlled bending and forming processes, observing minimum bend radii for 0.253" thickness to prevent cracking. |
