| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion. | Utilize 304 stainless steel or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners for all connections. |
| Inadequate edge preparation before welding, resulting in poor weld quality and potential stress points. | Properly bevel and clean all edges to be welded to ensure full penetration and a sound metallurgical bond. |
