| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality and tool wear. | Employ carbide-tipped or specialized high-speed steel cutting tools designed for stainless steel, and utilize appropriate coolant and cutting speeds. |
| Improper welding practices, such as insufficient preheating or inadequate shielding gas, resulting in weld defects and reduced corrosion resistance. | Follow established welding procedures for 304 stainless steel, including appropriate preheating, proper filler material selection, and thorough purging with argon or a suitable gas mixture. |
