Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to poor edge quality or damage to the material.Employ cutting methods specifically designed for stainless steel of this thickness, such as industrial shears, plasma cutters, or waterjet cutting.
Failing to account for material expansion or contraction in extreme temperature applications.Consult material thermal expansion data and incorporate appropriate clearances in designs where significant temperature fluctuations are anticipated.
