Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or grinding, leading to rust contamination.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting discs, blades, and grinding wheels to prevent iron particle contamination and subsequent corrosion.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning, leaving heat tint and scale.Immediately after welding, remove heat tint and scale using mechanical methods (e.g., pickling paste, stainless steel wire brushing) followed by thorough rinsing to restore passive layer.
