| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or drilling stainless steel. | Utilize tools specifically designed for stainless steel, often featuring higher hardness and lubrication to prevent galling and heat buildup. |
| Inadequate surface preparation before welding, leading to compromised joint integrity. | Thoroughly degrease and remove any surface contaminants (e.g., oil, dirt, scale) from the welding area using appropriate stainless steel cleaning agents and practices. |
