Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to edge damage or deformation.Employ tools specifically designed for cutting stainless steel, such as metal shears, band saws, or abrasive cutoff wheels, and ensure blades are sharp.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during fabrication or welding.Allow for adequate expansion gaps and consider preheating or post-weld heat treatment if the application involves significant temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications
