Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fastening methods that compromise structural integrity.Consult engineering drawings or material compatibility charts to select fasteners and joining techniques suitable for 304 stainless steel and the specific operating conditions.
Failing to account for thermal expansion and contraction in the design.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible fastening systems where significant temperature variations are expected to prevent buckling or stress fractures.
