Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for thick stainless steel, leading to excessive heat and work hardening.Employ carbide-tipped or diamond-coated cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, and utilize adequate lubrication to manage heat.
Failing to account for the material's thermal expansion during welding or forming.Implement appropriate clamping and heat management techniques to minimize distortion caused by thermal expansion.
