Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to contamination and premature corrosion.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools or ensure thorough cleaning of shared tools before use.
Inadequate cleaning after welding, leaving slag or heat tint which can compromise corrosion resistance.Utilize passivation and pickling processes after welding to restore the protective oxide layer.
