| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance. | Utilize tools specifically designed for stainless steel, such as carbide-tipped blades or dedicated plasma cutters, to prevent galling and iron contamination. |
| Inadequate edge preparation for welding, resulting in porosity and reduced weld strength. | Thoroughly clean and bevel the edges to be welded, removing any scale or oxides, and use appropriate shielding gas for optimal weld quality. |
