Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion.Always use stainless steel fasteners of a similar grade (e.g., 304 or 316) to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Applying excessive force during bending or cutting, leading to work hardening or premature failure.Utilize proper tooling and techniques designed for working with stainless steel to avoid overworking the material.
