Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure a clean work surface to prevent cross-contamination.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning, leaving behind flux or scale that compromises the passive layer.Thoroughly clean and pickle all welds to restore the protective chromium oxide layer and ensure optimal corrosion resistance.
