| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel. | Always use stainless steel fasteners, preferably of the same grade or higher, to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure structural integrity. |
| Inadequate cutting tool selection leading to work hardening or poor edge quality. | Employ high-quality, sharp cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, such as abrasive cut-off wheels or plasma cutters, and maintain proper cutting speeds and coolant usage. |
