| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, which can lead to contamination and premature corrosion. | Always use tools designated for stainless steel, preferably with dedicated blades or consumables, to prevent cross-contamination. |
| Applying excessive heat during cutting or welding, resulting in sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance. | Employ proper cooling techniques and controlled heat input during fabrication processes to maintain the integrity of the stainless steel's passive layer. |
