| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can corrode and contaminate the stainless steel. | Always use 316 stainless steel or equivalent grade fasteners to maintain the corrosion resistance of the entire assembly. |
| Improper welding procedures leading to carbide precipitation and reduced corrosion resistance. | Employ low-heat input welding techniques and consider stabilized grades if post-weld heat treatment is not feasible, following industry best practices for stainless steel welding. |
