Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can cause contamination and reduce corrosion resistance.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools (e.g., plasma, laser, or abrasive waterjet) and ensure they are clean.
Inadequate weld preparation leading to porosity or poor fusion, compromising structural integrity.Thoroughly clean weld zones, use inert gas shielding (e.g., Argon), and employ appropriate filler metals for 304 stainless steel.

Common Applications
