Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or drilling without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and potential material degradation.Employ cutting fluids or lubricants specifically designed for stainless steel to manage heat and maintain tool sharpness.
Inadequate edge preparation before welding, resulting in porosity or incomplete fusion.Properly bevel edges and ensure a clean, oxide-free joint preparation before initiating welding procedures.
