| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion. | Always use 304 stainless steel or compatible high-nickel alloy fasteners. |
| Inadequate cleaning after cutting or welding, leaving surface contaminants. | Thoroughly clean the sheet using non-abrasive methods and appropriate stainless steel cleaners to prevent pitting and crevice corrosion. |
