| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel tools which can lead to contamination and premature corrosion. | Always use dedicated stainless steel tools or ensure thorough cleaning of shared equipment. |
| Inadequate post-weld cleaning, leaving behind scale that can compromise corrosion resistance. | Thoroughly clean welds using pickling or passivation methods to remove heat tint and scale. |
