Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools which can cause galling and contamination.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting and forming tools, ensuring they are clean and free from carbon steel residue.
Inadequate post-fabrication cleaning leading to surface corrosion.Thoroughly clean the fabricated components using non-abrasive cleaners and decontaminants specifically approved for stainless steel.
