Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible cutting tools that can introduce heat-affected zones and compromise corrosion resistance.Employ plasma cutters or abrasive saws designed for stainless steel, maintaining appropriate speeds and cooling to minimize thermal impact.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction during welding or forming processes.Factor in thermal expansion coefficients when planning fabrication steps to prevent warping or structural stress.
