Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools that can cause iron contamination and initiate corrosion.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting and forming tools, and ensure all tools are thoroughly cleaned before use.
Inadequate post-weld cleaning, leading to the formation of scale and compromised corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean welded areas using mechanical methods (e.g., passivation) to remove heat-affected zone oxides and restore corrosion resistance.
