| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or forming. | Always utilize tools specifically designed for stainless steel to prevent contamination and ensure clean cuts/bends. |
| Insufficient consideration of environmental factors for 316 selection. | Confirm that the superior corrosion resistance of 316 is indeed necessary for the intended application; while excellent, it has a higher cost than 304. |
