| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using a less corrosion-resistant steel grade in aggressive chemical or marine environments. | Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides, acids, or high saline conditions to prevent premature corrosion and failure. |
| Improper handling leading to surface contamination, which can initiate corrosion. | Handle the sheet with clean gloves and store it in a dry, protected area to maintain its pristine surface integrity. |
