Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to premature wear and potential contamination.Employ specialized stainless steel cutting blades or plasma consumables to maintain tool longevity and prevent carbide precipitation.
Inadequate edge preparation post-cutting, resulting in sharp burrs that can cause injury or interfere with sealing.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file or specialized deburring tool until smooth to the touch.

Common Applications

  • Heat exchanger fabrication
  • Ductwork for high-temperature exhaust
  • Components for industrial ovens and furnaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection, when cutting or handling.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting operations, as fumes can be hazardous.
