Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and potential material degradation.Utilize specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling designed for stainless steel, ensuring adequate coolant flow to manage heat.
Inadequate cleaning after fabrication, leaving behind contaminants that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly degrease and clean all surfaces after fabrication, preferably with non-chloride containing cleaning agents, and consider a post-fabrication passivation treatment.

Common Applications
