| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality and tool damage. | Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized plasma/laser cutting equipment designed for high-thickness stainless steel, ensuring proper cooling and feed rates. |
| Inadequate surface preparation before welding or forming, resulting in compromised material integrity and aesthetic flaws. | Thoroughly degrease and clean the stainless steel surface using appropriate solvents and abrasive pads. For welding, use dedicated stainless steel consumables and inert shielding gases. |
