| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools on stainless steel without proper lubrication or speed adjustments. | Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel. Utilize appropriate cutting fluids and adjust speeds and feeds to prevent excessive heat buildup and tool wear. |
| Neglecting to consider the work hardening properties of 304 stainless steel during fabrication. | Incorporate annealing steps between severe forming operations if necessary, or use slower speeds and increased feed rates during machining to mitigate work hardening and maintain dimensional integrity. |
