| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to premature tool wear and potential contamination. | Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, utilizing appropriate cutting fluids to manage heat and friction. |
| Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in porosity and reduced weld strength. | Thoroughly degrease and remove any surface contaminants from the weld area using a stainless steel brush or appropriate solvent. |
