Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to excessive heat and work hardening.Utilize carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, along with proper coolant application.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, leading to contamination and weak joints.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically clean the weld area using stainless steel brushes or abrasive pads to remove any oxides or contaminants.
