Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can cause burring or deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel to ensure clean cuts and maintain material integrity.
Not accounting for potential material expansion/contraction during welding or forming.Incorporate appropriate allowances in your fabrication design to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress on the final assembly.
