Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to rapid wear and contamination.Employ specialized carbide or diamond-tipped cutting blades designed for stainless steel to ensure clean cuts and prolong tool life.
Inadequate support during welding, resulting in warping or distortion of the thick sheet.Utilize a robust fixturing system and consider a pre-heating and controlled cooling process to minimize thermal stress.
