| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incompatible welding consumables that could compromise the corrosion resistance of the 316 stainless steel. | Always use welding consumables specifically recommended for 316 stainless steel to maintain its inherent corrosion resistance. |
| Failure to account for thermal expansion and contraction in the design, leading to stress and potential failure. | Incorporate expansion joints or flexible connections in designs involving significant temperature variations to accommodate material movement. |
