Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or deformation.Utilize high-quality metal cutting blades (e.g., abrasive cutoff wheels designed for stainless steel) or waterjet/laser cutting for clean, precise edges.
Inadequate surface preparation before joining.Thoroughly degrease and clean all mating surfaces to ensure optimal weld penetration and corrosion resistance. Use stainless steel wire brushes and appropriate cleaning agents.
