Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Attempting to cut with standard carbon steel tools, leading to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Use dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain strict separation from carbon steel materials.
Improper welding procedures that can lead to sensitization and intergranular corrosion.Employ appropriate welding techniques for 304 stainless steel, such as TIG or MIG welding, and consider post-weld heat treatment if necessary.

Common Applications
