Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, which can lead to contamination and premature corrosion.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools (e.g., plasma cutters, abrasive saws with specific blades) and ensure they are clean.
Inadequate post-fabrication cleaning, leaving behind residue that can compromise corrosion resistance.Thoroughly degrease and clean the fabricated components with non-abrasive materials and appropriate stainless steel cleaning solutions.
