| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance. | Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain strict cleanliness protocols to prevent cross-contamination. |
| Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in porosity or weak joints. | Thoroughly degrease and de-oxidize the weld joint area before welding to ensure a clean and strong bond. |
