| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper precautions. | Employ carbide-tipped or diamond-coated blades specifically designed for stainless steel, and maintain adequate lubrication to prevent blade overheating and material work hardening. |
| Improper handling leading to surface contamination. | Handle sheets with clean gloves and store them in a dry, protected environment to prevent contamination with chlorides or other corrosive agents that could compromise the passivation layer. |
