| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using inappropriate cutting tools that can cause excessive heat and localized corrosion. | Employ tools specifically designed for cutting stainless steel, such as abrasive cut-off wheels or plasma cutters, and ensure proper coolant usage to manage heat. |
| Inadequate preparation of weld joints leading to porosity or incomplete fusion. | Thoroughly clean weld edges to remove contaminants and use appropriate filler materials and welding techniques (e.g., TIG welding) for 304 stainless steel. |
