Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to rust formation at the cut edge.Employ stainless steel specific cutting blades and lubricants to maintain the integrity of the 304 alloy and prevent contamination.
Inadequate edge preparation post-cutting.Always deburr and smooth all cut edges with a file or grinding wheel to remove sharp burrs and potential points for corrosion initiation.
