Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting blades and tools to prevent iron particle contamination.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction during welding or forming.Allow adequate clearance and consider thermal expansion during fabrication to prevent stress and warping.

Common Applications
