Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or grinding, leading to cross-contamination and potential rust spots.Employ dedicated stainless steel tooling and ensure thorough cleaning of work surfaces to prevent contamination.
Insufficient edge preparation before welding, resulting in weak or porous weld joints.Properly bevel and clean all edges to be welded to ensure full penetration and a strong, corrosion-resistant weld.
