Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools which can cause galling and contamination.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting and finishing tools, ensuring they are clean and free from carbon steel residues.
Neglecting edge finishing, leading to stress concentrations.Thoroughly deburr and radius all cut edges to distribute stress and improve material longevity.

Common Applications
