Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for stainless steel, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Employ specialized carbide or HSS cutting tools designed for stainless steel, ensuring adequate coolant and optimal cutting speeds.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during cutting or welding, resulting in dimensional inaccuracies.Allow for expansion by using appropriate cutting parameters and providing expansion joints where necessary in fabricated assemblies.
