| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard stainless steel in highly corrosive heating/cooling media. | Always specify 316 stainless steel for its superior molybdenum content, which enhances resistance to chlorides and acids. |
| Inadequate edge preparation before welding, leading to weld defects. | Thoroughly clean and bevel edges according to welding specifications to ensure full penetration and structural integrity. |
