| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or welding, leading to contamination and potential rust spots. | Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting blades and welding consumables to prevent cross-contamination. |
| Improper surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or discolored weld joints. | Thoroughly degrease and clean the weld area, and consider using an inert gas shield during the welding process. |
