Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and tool wear.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel blades designed for stainless steel, and utilize a cutting fluid or coolant to manage heat and improve cut quality.
Not accounting for material expansion/contraction during cutting or welding, which can lead to dimensional inaccuracies.Allow for thermal expansion during cutting by using slower feed rates and adequate cooling. For welding, plan for potential warping and employ appropriate fixturing techniques.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Fabrication
