Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting methods that can lead to work hardening and compromised edge quality.Employ abrasive waterjet or precision plasma cutting for clean, precise edges without excessive heat input.
Inadequate post-fabrication cleaning, leaving contaminants that can damage hydraulic systems.Thoroughly degrease and passivate all fabricated parts to remove any residual oils, particulates, or metal fragments.
