Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick stainless steel.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for processing thick gauge stainless steel to prevent premature wear and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning, leading to potential micro-cracking or discoloration.Thoroughly clean all weld areas post-fabrication using pickling paste or passivation solutions to restore the chromium oxide layer and maintain corrosion resistance.
