Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which will corrode and compromise the integrity of the stainless steel assembly.Always use 300-series stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 304 or 316) to maintain galvanic compatibility and prevent galvanic corrosion.
Employing abrasive cutting wheels or tools that are contaminated with carbon steel, leading to surface contamination and potential rust initiation.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting blades and ensure all tools are thoroughly cleaned before use to prevent cross-contamination.
