Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools during cutting, leading to potential contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain strict cleanliness protocols to prevent cross-contamination.
Insufficient consideration of the material's work hardening characteristics during forming operations.Implement slower feed rates and appropriate lubrication during bending or stamping to manage work hardening and prevent premature cracking.
