| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and potential work hardening. | Utilize high-speed steel or carbide tooling with liberal coolant application to maintain tool life and prevent undesirable material changes. |
| Inadequate edge preparation for welding, resulting in porosity or incomplete fusion. | Thoroughly clean and bevel edges to the recommended angle for the welding process being used, ensuring a clean and sound joint. |
