| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard stainless steel in highly corrosive environments, leading to premature failure. | Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to chlorides, acids, or saltwater for superior corrosion resistance. |
| Improper cutting techniques that can induce stress or burrs, compromising structural integrity. | Utilize high-quality cutting tools and methods designed for thin gauge stainless steel to maintain material integrity and achieve clean edges. |
