Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for corrosive environments, leading to premature rust and failure.Always select 304 stainless steel or higher grades for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater to ensure long-term integrity and safety.
Inadequate edge finishing after cutting, resulting in sharp burrs that can cause injury or damage to other components.Thoroughly deburr and smooth all cut edges using files, grinding wheels, or specialized deburring tools to create a safe and clean finish.
