| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners that will corrode and contaminate the 316 stainless steel. | Utilize 316 stainless steel fasteners or other compatible high-grade alloys for all connections to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain system integrity. |
| Inadequate cleaning of the material before welding, leading to inclusions and reduced corrosion resistance. | Thoroughly clean the weld area and surrounding surfaces with a non-chlorinated solvent and stainless steel brushes to remove any grease, oil, or contaminants. |
