Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting blades or plasma torches, and ensure all tools are thoroughly cleaned before use.
Improper welding techniques leading to sensitization and potential intergranular corrosion.Utilize low heat input welding methods, proper post-weld cleaning, and consider solution annealing for critical applications if sensitization is a concern.
