Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or fastening.Thoroughly clean the sheet edges and surrounding areas to remove any oils, grease, or contaminants that could compromise weld quality or fastener adhesion.
Overheating the stainless steel during welding, leading to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance.Utilize appropriate welding techniques and heat input controls, such as TIG welding with proper filler material and interpass temperature management, to maintain the integrity of the stainless steel.
