| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using undersized fasteners or inadequate welding techniques for the sheet thickness. | Consult load-bearing calculations and material specifications to select fasteners or welding consumables that meet or exceed the required tensile and shear strength for the 0.246" 304 stainless steel. |
| Neglecting surface preparation, leading to compromised corrosion resistance at joints or cut edges. | Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be joined or exposed by cutting. Remove any mill scale, oils, or contaminants. Consider passivation after fabrication to restore maximum corrosion resistance. |
