| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper cleaning, leading to contamination and potential rust spots. | Always use dedicated stainless steel cutting tools or thoroughly clean standard tools before use. Post-cutting, clean the entire sheet surface to remove any metal particles. |
| Improper bending or forming without considering the material's yield strength and springback, resulting in cracks or distortion. | Consult material data sheets for 316 stainless steel's mechanical properties. Utilize appropriate tooling and techniques for bending and forming, accounting for springback to achieve accurate geometries. |
