| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using dull cutting tools, leading to jagged edges and material deformation. | Always utilize sharp, high-quality cutting blades specifically designed for stainless steel to achieve clean, precise cuts. |
| Applying excessive heat during welding, which can lead to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance. | Employ proper welding techniques for stainless steel, such as using a TIG welder with appropriate amperage and shielding gas to minimize heat input. |
