| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or fabrication which can lead to iron contamination and subsequent corrosion. | Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain strict cleanliness protocols to prevent cross-contamination. |
| Inadequate consideration of the specific corrosive media the material will be exposed to, potentially leading to premature degradation. | Consult material compatibility charts and, if necessary, engage with material science experts to confirm suitability for the intended chemical environment. |
