| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance. | Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain rigorous cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination. |
| Insufficient consideration of thermal expansion during welding or forming, potentially leading to distortion. | Implement appropriate preheating and controlled cooling procedures during fabrication to mitigate thermal stress and distortion. |
