Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or deformation.Employ precision cutting tools designed for stainless steel, such as abrasive saws or waterjet cutters, and ensure blades are sharp to minimize burrs.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction in extreme temperature applications.Incorporate appropriate expansion gaps or consider the thermal expansion coefficient of 304 stainless steel during design and fabrication for high-temperature uses.
