Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper precautions.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools or ensure thorough cleaning of tools used on carbon steel to prevent galvanic corrosion from embedded iron particles.
Insufficient edge preparation after cutting.Always deburr cut edges meticulously to remove sharp fragments, which can lead to stress concentration and potential failure points.
