Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can cause contamination and reduce corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools or ensure thorough cleaning of shared tools before use.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction during welding or forming processes.Plan for thermal expansion and contraction by incorporating appropriate allowances in design and welding procedures.

Common Applications
