| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners which will corrode and contaminate the 316 stainless steel. | Always use 316 stainless steel or higher grade fasteners for assembly to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain material integrity. |
| Inadequate cleaning after welding, leaving slag or heat tint that compromises corrosion resistance. | Thoroughly clean welded areas using passivation and pickling processes to remove all contaminants and restore the protective oxide layer. |
