Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can cause excessive heat or deformation.Employ cutting methods designed for stainless steel to maintain material integrity and achieve clean cuts.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction due to temperature changes in critical load-bearing applications.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible connections where significant temperature fluctuations are anticipated.
