Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to premature tool wear.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, and use generous amounts of cutting fluid.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning, resulting in discoloration and potential loss of corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean the weld area with stainless steel brushes and pickling paste to remove heat tint and ensure optimal corrosion resistance.
