Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to poor edge quality or excessive heat input.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for thick stainless steel, ensuring proper cooling and feed rates to maintain material integrity and achieve clean cuts.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction during welding or forming processes.Implement appropriate fixturing and pre-heating/post-heating procedures, if necessary, to manage thermal stresses and prevent warping or cracking.
