Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, which can lead to galling and contamination.Utilize specialized stainless steel cutting fluids and carbide-tipped or HSS tools designed for stainless steel fabrication.
Inadequate edge preparation before welding, resulting in poor weld quality and potential stress points.Bevel edges appropriately and ensure a clean, oxide-free surface for optimal weld penetration and strength.
