| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or shaping, leading to contamination and potential rust. | Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting and shaping tools, ensuring they are clean and free from carbon steel residue. |
| Improper welding techniques that can lead to sensitization and reduced corrosion resistance. | Employ TIG welding with appropriate filler metal and controlled heat input to maintain the inherent corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel. |
