| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion when in contact with stainless steel. | Always use 304 or 316 grade stainless steel fasteners to maintain corrosion resistance and prevent premature failure. |
| Introducing contaminants during fabrication, such as iron particles from carbon steel tools, leading to 'tea staining'. | Utilize dedicated stainless steel tools and cleaning equipment, and ensure a clean work environment to preserve the passive oxide layer. |
