| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using lower grade stainless steel for corrosive environments. | Always specify and utilize 316 stainless steel for applications involving chloride exposure or acidic media to prevent premature corrosion. |
| Inadequate post-weld heat treatment leading to sensitization. | If welding is performed, ensure proper post-weld procedures, including annealing if necessary, to maintain the corrosion resistance of the heat-affected zone. |
