Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools that can cause contamination and rust.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools or ensure thorough cleaning of tools before and after use to prevent contamination.
Overheating the material during cutting or welding, leading to potential discoloration and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ appropriate cooling methods during fabrication and maintain moderate heat input to preserve the material's properties.

Common Applications

  • Fabrication of custom hand tool components
  • Repair and replacement of worn or damaged tool parts
  • Prototyping of new tool designs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or handling metal sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting or welding operations to avoid inhalation of metal fumes.
