| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect welding procedures for 304 stainless steel, leading to sensitization or reduced corrosion resistance. | Employ appropriate welding techniques such as TIG or MIG welding with low-hydrogen filler metals, and maintain interpass temperatures below the specified maximum to prevent sensitization. |
| Inadequate surface preparation before machining, resulting in tool wear and compromised surface finish. | Ensure the sheet is free from grease, oil, and other contaminants prior to machining. Use sharp, high-quality cutting tools and appropriate lubrication. |
