Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can generate excessive heat and warp the stainless steel.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools designed for stainless steel, ensuring adequate coolant is used to manage heat.
Failing to degrease the surface thoroughly before welding or bonding, leading to poor adhesion or weld quality.Thoroughly degrease the entire surface to be worked on using an appropriate solvent cleaner prior to any welding, bonding, or painting.
