| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive environments. | Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving chlorides or elevated temperatures to prevent premature corrosion. |
| Improper welding procedures leading to sensitization. | Employ controlled welding techniques and post-weld heat treatment (if necessary) to maintain the corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone. |
