| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel in corrosive heating/cooling environments. | Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving moisture, chemicals, or high temperatures to prevent premature corrosion and failure. |
| Inadequate surface preparation before welding or joining. | Thoroughly clean the weld area and surrounding material to remove any grease, paint, or other contaminants that could compromise weld integrity and introduce corrosion sites. |
