| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance. | Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools, preferably high-speed steel or carbide-tipped, and ensure they are clean and free from carbon steel residue. |
| Inadequate edge preparation for welding, resulting in weak or porous welds. | Properly bevel and clean all edges to be welded, removing any mill scale, grease, or contaminants. Consider inert gas shielding during welding to prevent oxidation. |
