Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can cause excessive heat and damage the stainless steel's passivation layer.Employ sharp, dedicated metal-cutting tools such as abrasive cut-off wheels or laser cutters, and utilize coolant to minimize heat buildup.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, leading to potential contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean the weld area with stainless steel brushes and degreasing agents to remove all contaminants.
