Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to work hardening and reduced edge quality.Employ carbide-tipped blades or plasma cutters specifically rated for 304 stainless steel to maintain material integrity and achieve clean cuts.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding or high-temperature operations.Implement proper welding procedures and consider expansion joints in designs exposed to significant temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications
