| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burring and material damage. | Utilize high-quality metal cutting blades specifically designed for stainless steel, maintaining appropriate feed rates and cooling. |
| Improper welding that compromises the material's inherent corrosion resistance. | Employ TIG or MIG welding with the correct filler metals (e.g., 308L) and minimize heat input to prevent sensitization. |
