Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and potential material degradation.Employ specialized stainless steel cutting fluids or coolants and appropriate tool coatings to manage heat and maintain edge integrity.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction during welding or fabrication, resulting in dimensional inaccuracies.Incorporate appropriate pre- and post-weld heat treatment and consider thermal management techniques to mitigate distortion.
