Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality and potential material work-hardening.Employ carbide-tipped or specialized stainless steel cutting blades and maintain consistent feed rates to achieve clean cuts and minimize heat buildup.
Inadequate surface preparation, resulting in poor adhesion or compromising the structural integrity of the final assembly.Thoroughly degrease and clean the sheet surface and the substrate using appropriate solvents before bonding or fastening.
